Hi Benda,

Great.

I know, that some people prefer their local date format
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country) most.
But in an international project it we need a standard which does not
lead to misunderstandings and is easy to use.
I think all developers on the world interpret 2019-07-01 the same way
and are familiar with this format. If it is not their favorite format
yet, it is their second best choice.

Best,
Jonas
