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

 

Proposed solution #1:

Add a ManyToMany field between Team and Timezone to let team admins pick
which timezones apply to their team.

On Meeting update form, provide a drop-down for Timezone with the Team's
chosen timezones at the top, followed by UTC, followed by all other
timezones.  This way teams with only one timezone will always have
their's selected by default, teams without timezones will have UTC
selected by default.

Convert time from timezone local to UTC when saving it in the database,
like we currently do for Event times.

On Meeting details page, show a time listing for each of the team's
selected timezones, plus UTC.

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)
