[GNC] Time zone workaround?

[Clayton Dewey]

Thanks, that's a good idea. I'll take that approach in the meantime.
Long term, is this issue scheduled to be fixed in a future release?
Would some level of financial support help make that happen? I imagine
this is an issue for other geographically distributed companies.

Thanks,
Clayton
