Hi Kevin,

Thanks for checking on the dates/time
for the DASHBOARD FEST.

I'm a bit lost with the correction though...


What you are pointing out is that we should
use EDT instead of EST ?

or the fact that it should be 1 minute past 9pm ?



Probably the safe way of defining the time
is by using UTC.

         The ITK Dashboard rolls up at:

                          1am  UTC


set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "1:00:00 UTC")


Looking at the US Naval Observatory web site:

http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/timer.pl

We should be using "EDT"....
(which I guess is your point...)


So,

      1am UTC  ==  9pm EDT (of the previous day).


The DASHBOARD FEST will start on

    June 21 : 1am UTC  == June 20 : 9pm EDT

and will finish on

    June 22 : 1am UTC  == June 21 : 9pm EDT



Please let us know if you see any error,


    Thanks !


          Luis
