Bug description:
The details for an event (e.g. http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/163/detail/) has 2 fields, the "Date begin:" and "Date end:". Both list the full date, time and timezone that the event is happening. This it too much information for a standard user. For events that only span one day (which will be quite common I guess), you should only show the date once. e.g. a sample output would be "6:00 → 10:00, Wed, 30 Jul 2010".

You don't need to show the timezone for the event. Timezones get confusing for people. For example, it's common for people to think that the UK and Ireland are on GMT all year round. Most people in a LoCo are local, so the timezones are unneeded, since most of the people attending will be in the same timezone
