Dear Matthew,

Thanks for raising these two issues.

1. The use of time zones instead of city names is very common in meeting
plannings. For instance, I receive frequent invitations to calls that
are expressed in "16:00 EDT time". People in these meetings rarely refer
to their location as a city.

2. This is a good point. Upon user input of, for instance ACT, could the
system detect that there are two with the same name and ask the user to
pick the correct one?

Title:
  Adding time zones to locations of indicator-datetime

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Dear all,

  May I suggest the feature to add time zones, e.g. CEST, EDT, directly
  to the very useful locations menu?

  Currently only city names are supported.

  I am attaching two screenshots:

  1. showing the locations menu
  2. a mockup of how I envision the time zone to be represented in the indicator

  Thankfully,

  ~Robert
