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.
