I'm new to this problem, and consider it very important, perhaps
critical, because:

1. It's telling readers that our meeting is tomorrow night, not tomorrow afternoon. Some will miss the meeting because of this error. See:
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-ma/1328/detail/

2. It told me to post in local time, but that apparently is not true.

3. It's where Ubuntu meets its users, and it's causing them to miss Ubuntu meetings!! 
Why is that fix NOT urgent? How long has that been left unattended, and what is its message to those who rely upon calendar announcements?

Thanks for your consideration,
--A. Richard Miller (trying to invite folks to a Canonical presentation in Natick, tomorrow afternoon!)

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

Status in LoCo Team Portal:
  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.
