Our brilliant government moved the start of DST to September 2nd this year.
So, we will all lose one precious time in our lives... well, not all since
now I'm living in Argentina :P

Yes, of course. It's in *September*. The duration of the contest is 30
days + 1 h

I had in mind creating this thread and asking about creating such table.

Hi Andre,
thanks for the suggestions; I'll make sure to have the checklist at
the ready, and also to include the information about not disabling the
campaigns and changing the banners in due time.
Thanks again, your help is appreciated!

In our case, Chile has two different time zones (Continental and Easter
Island, with 2 hours of difference). Of course, 99,9% of the population is
concentrated in one time zone, but we decided in order to avoid any
problem, to put in the bylaws of the contest that we are going to use the

Hi Yaroslav,
the problem we face here is that there are no technical means to use
this scheme.
Firstly, there is only one UploadCampaign for the US (same for Canada,
the Netherlands, and Russia) - and secondly, the current CentralNotice
and GeoNotice systems do not (truly) enable us to set up diff

there hasn't been to much discussion about this topic, so I went ahead
and suggested my plan to you ;-)) But obviously it would be nice for
the countries to decide by themselves when they want to turn on the

Hi Yaroslav,
Just for the record: I would also be happy if they would choose a different
opening and closing timezone. Also that is up to the country imho. I'll
leave setting the default to Tomasz though ;)

Hi Tomasz,
if every country chooses one time zone, for Russia it would be indeed
logical to have Moscow time (which is the same as Saint Petersburg
time), and they are one hour ahead of Ukraine and Belarus. (Kaliningrad
time would be the same as Ukraine). I do not know how it would work with
Hi Yaroslav,
no, my original plan was to start the campaign when the mainland part
of the countries you mentioned (especially the US and France) start
the competition.
The problem we have with Russia is that the scope of the project is
not yet known to us, so I planned to run the UploadCampaign an
In my opinion, that is up to those countries :) If Russia prefers to use a
different time zone (to take the most painful country) that would be fine
with me too. But yes, it would be good to have a good overview of this.
Maybe something to add as a table in the FAQ?
