Good catch :-)

In order to show the correct time, we first need to add another missing
feature to Sugar: time-zone configuration. Who would like to take this
task?

Hopefully, manual configuration of time and date isn't that critical for
connected laptops. Does the xs run an ntp service? Making 1000 laptops
from the same school go query a public ntp server is a silly waste of
bandwidth.
