Background / Problem
The proposal deadline for Kaigi on Rails was displayed as Jul 13, 2026 at 12:00am JST.
However, because the "12:00 AM/PM" format can be highly ambiguous and confusing, I noticed that several people misunderstood this as 12:00 PM (noon) on July 13th, and unfortunately missed the deadline.
To prevent such confusion in the future, I would like to propose changing the date/time display format to a standardized one, such as RFC 5322 or ISO 8601.
Proposal
I suggest adopting one of the following formats. Personally, I think RFC 5322 is a great candidate because it is highly readable for humans while eliminating any ambiguity.
Option A: RFC 5322 (Highly recommended for readability)
Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0900
Option B: ISO 8601

Contribution
If the maintainers are open to this change, I am more than happy to work on the implementation. Please let me know your thoughts, and feel free to assign this issue to me!
Thank you for maintaining this wonderful project.
