[Bug 711754] Re: meeting start/end time uses UTC, not local time

 

The problem with this is that teams span over multiple time zones. This
was discussed during development, and the current implementation was the
decision that was reached. After the user profiles are completely
implemented, it may be possible to display them in the users time zone,
but currently, keeping meetings at UTC provides the easiest way to
display times. On events, we have venues so the TZ is displayed based
upon the venue.

Title:
  meeting start/end time uses UTC, not local time

Status in LoCo Directory:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  meeting start/end time uses UTC, not local time.

  Some irc meetings are going to be local to the team, and only local
  members will be going. Hence those people will all be on one timezone.
  Thus there is no need for UTC. It should be possible to schedule
  meetings in local time.

  (Some global IRC meetings (e.g. any of the ubuntu classroom stuff)
  should definitly by UTC, since they are targetted at everyone on the
  planet)
