Perhaps a non-issue for now, but with ref to following page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/13/Schedule Where text reads: ====================== "Historically, Test and General Availability releases happen at 10:00am Eastern US Time, which is either 1500UTC or 1400UTC depending on daylight savings in the United States. See Releases/Schedule for more information about scheduling methodology and schedule milestone definitions" ====================== Personally I tend to think of UTC as a fixed constant against which time can be measured. Eastern Standard Time is UTC-5 Eastern Daylight Time is UTC-4 Hence if the release time is "10.00am Eastern US Time" (assuming Daylight saving is observed) then this would be UTC-4, otherwise UTC-5. I strongly suspect that to say "is either 1500 UTC or 1400 UTC" is probably incorrect (unless the release time does genuinely change). I _think_ perhaps the text should be re-phrased: ====================== "Historically, Test and General Availability releases happen at 10:00am Eastern US Time, which is either UTC -5 hours (or UTC -4 hours if daylight saving is being observed in the United States). See Releases/Schedule for more information about scheduling methodology and schedule milestone definitions" ====================== For interest there is more info about timezones at http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/eastern-time/ (To all intents and purposes UTC and GMT - Greenwich Mean Time may be considered the same) As for me, I am based in the UK. I am assuming (maybe wrongly) that the release time will be 10.00am Eastern Daylight Time (ie UTC-4), but because the UK is currently observing daylight saving in the UK (BST- British Summer Time) then I need to wait 12 mins or so (at time of writing) until 1500 BST 1500 BST being the same as all of the following: 1500 UTC+1 1400 UTC 1000 EDT (ie 1000 UTC-4) 0900 EST (ie 0900 UTC-5) Bottom line is that I suspect it is NOT the UTC time that changes (1400 or 1500) as the page implies, but rather that it is the time-difference between Eastern US Time and UTC that changes - ie 5 hours behind UTC or 4 hours behind UTC (if daylight saving observed). Perhaps this minor change could be made for the future if you feel appropriate.
