I am pretty sure that was aimed at me, my bad, sorry about that Alex. I
didn't realize that it was you, forgot that you are a developer, and
yes, I finished the math module, well, sort of...{read -> I'll do it
tonight ;)}
As for the timezone, I agree with you K McI that it should intelligently
pick the timezone, but I think it is just too difficult, especially with
very metropolitain nations such as Canada. I suggest one of two things:
1) Stick with GMT as a default
2) Pick some neutral default considered the "home" of ROS, I believe
Windows defaults to GMT -8 because of the location of Microsoft HQ
{Redmond, Washington}
