Just looking at the SFD site, i noticed the countdown are different. While that on top is reading 33days , the other(which is used by the community) s reading 34days. http://softwarefreedomday.org/en/blog/194-100-teams-registered- Cheers! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Seun Ojedeji, Federal University Oye-Ekiti web: http://www.fuoye.edu.ng Mobile: +2348035233535 **alt email: <http://goog_1872880453>seun.ojedeji@fuoye.edu.ng*

Hi! Sorry for the late response, was finishing a lot of things including the OpenDisc SFD Edition 2012 and cleaning up the wiki as it seems too complicated for some people to follow the simple requirements of having their team/event page under their country and city (not to mention clicking on a map somewhere around the location where the event is most likely going to happen). /rant The code for both countdown are available (one in the wiki and one in the webpage). They actually work differently as the website countdown (top banner) uses your computer clock to do the calculation while the SFD banner countdown uses the US server plus or minus an offset decided by the person who is hosting that banner. So in our case (SFD website) we are using the SFD server timezone which is UTC -4, though aware of the issue we are trying not to display both on the same page. So now depending on where and from where you're looking there can obviously be a difference between the two. I hope I have explained it well (besides we might as well use a different time for counting the final day: from midnight for one and 3am for the other one - I would have to double check again).
