[osflash] OFLA2 Schedule: Misleading info

[Rostislav Siryk]

Claus, Mark - thank you for bringing the light to the issue.

I just need to know what time value (UTC or EST) is being used as main
in the OFLA2 schedule. I guess this is UTC/GMT time, and a word from
Firdosh, Aral or conference speaker will make me completely sure.

Now I can use the Worldtime Converter to
(http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html) to determine
when OFLA2 starts regarding my local time. I live in Ukraine, so my
time seems to be 18:00.

So it was just a misprint in timezone name - EDT must be used instead
ot the EST in the OFLA2 schedule.
