About the time in San Francisco
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal San Francisco day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Around 383 people live in San Francisco, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
San Francisco sits at latitude -14.51, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 44m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
