Claus, Mark - thank you for bringing the light to the issue. I just need to know what time value (UTC or EST) is being used as main in the OFLA2 schedule. I guess this is UTC/GMT time, and a word from Firdosh, Aral or conference speaker will make me completely sure.
Now I can use the Worldtime Converter to (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html) to determine when OFLA2 starts regarding my local time. I live in Ukraine, so my time seems to be 18:00. So it was just a misprint in timezone name - EDT must be used instead ot the EST in the OFLA2 schedule. -- Rost 2007/6/14, Mark Winterhalder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > In such cases (especially if the poster lives in the US), assume EST > to mean "New York, on the given date", do your own calculations, and > ignore the rest. > > There simply is no EST (UTC-5) in North America in Summer.
