Hi,
Yes, it is all resolved. Please note that the opening is not so critical as the closing. For the opening being a few hours off is fine - because there will be very few people paying attention yet and having photos ready to upload. At the closing however, the number of uploads per minute can be huge.

Hi all, Did this get resolved? The time difference is 6 hours between Hawaii and Eastern time zones.
Tomasz, can you confirm?
thanks! Matthew

Hawaii don't follow daylight saving time, like New York, thus the difference is 6 hours in winter and 5 in summer. Just to be sure: *Starting time at UTC-10: 12:01 am September 1 in Hawaii = 6:01 am in NYC = 2012-09-01T10:00 UTC *Closing time at UTC-10: 12:01 am October 1 in Hawaii = 6:01 am in NYC = 2012-10-01T10:00 UTC Right?

As far as the time the contest should run in the US, please make it 12:01 am September 1 to 12:01 am October 1 Hawaiian Time, which is 5:01 am Sept 1 to 5:01 am October 1 New York Time. (The :01 is there because 12:00 is considered to be ambiguous for the date in the US - all our laws take effect at 12:01!)
12:01 am. Hawaian time does not seem to be the same as 05:01 am New York Time:
TZ=UTC date --date='TZ="Pacific/Honolulu" 12:01 am September 1' Sat Sep 1 10:01:00 UTC 2012
TZ=UTC date --date='TZ="America/New_York" 05:01 am September 1' Sat Sep 1 09:01:00 UTC 2012
