Addendum: The way that Google calendar is showing this event is from
3-6PM Eastern, but the iCal feed:

http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-michigan/ical

has the following:


BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:962
DTSTART:20110525T230000
DTEND:20110526T020000
CATEGORIES:Ubuntu Loco Team Event
DESCRIPTION:the MI Loco teams up with the CoffeeHouseCoders team to hold a
  weekly geek meeting at a local coffee shop. For event details and mapping
  see: http://coffeehousecode.appspot.com/locations/detroit.html
SUMMARY:UH:CHC (Ubuntu Hour/Coffee House Coders)
END:VEVENT

I'm not sure what's going on to make Google calendar not arrive at the
right time, but it's preventing us from moving to the Ubuntu calendar
exclusively.

Title:
  Time of events is shown in UTC, not local time

Status in LoCo Directory:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The events page of the loco directory shows times in UTC (i.e. +0000
  timezone), example: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/202/detail/ It
  should instead show times in local time for each loco. Many people
  coming to events are going to be coming from the local area, and will
  all be in the same timezone, so there is no need to include the
  timezone information. Secondly, timezones are confusing for many
  people, and showing event start times in UTC as opposed to local time
  forced people to do mental arithmetic when they see an event page.
  There is very little benefit from showing all times in UTC, and many
  drawbacks. Local time (for the LoCo) has more benefits and less
  drawbacks.
