<br><br>What you are pointing out is that we should<br>use EDT instead of EST ?<br><br>or the fact that it should be 1 minute past 9pm ?<br><br><br><br>Probably the safe way of defining the time <br>is by using UTC.<br><br>
The ITK Dashboard rolls up at:<br><br> 1am UTC<br><br><br>set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "1:00:00 UTC")<br><br><br>Looking at the US Naval Observatory web site:<br><br><a href="http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/timer.pl">http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/timer.pl</a><br>
<br>We should be using "EDT"....<br>(which I guess is your point...)<br><br><br>So, <br><br> 1am UTC == 9pm EDT (of the previous day).<br><br><br>The DASHBOARD FEST will start on<br><br> June 21 : 1am UTC == June 20 : 9pm EDT<br>
