I'm going to mark this invalid. The reasoning is that no matter how the
timezone bug gets fixed, it will need to show the time zone, and this
bug is asking to remove the showing of the time zone. You can look at
bug #610416 and continue discussion on fixing the time zone issue there.
Please reopen if there is a disagreement with this bug being invalid.

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
