Where is the source code of the hack subdomain hosted? Alternatively, where can I submit issues to?

The timezones are confusing, as CET is used, but that is winter time, and instead CEST should be used, otherwise people will show up an hour early if they do not use UTC to calculate local times.

Correct infos can be calculated with e.g. GNU date:

$ TZ=Europe/Paris date -d 15\ UTC
$ # or including date:
$ TZ=Europe/Paris date -d 'June 21 15 UTC'

gives the correct output: 17 CEST. It seems EDT and PDT change with day light savings, while CET does not. CET might be in use somewhere in summer, but not in most of Europe, thus that might be a confusing info.
