Time zone problem while syncing calendar app with ownCloud

 

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 7 3G (r18) and set up the
synchronization mechanism between the calendar app and my owncloud
installation according to the very helpful instructions given at

    http://mitchellreese.id.au/owncloud-sync-on-ubuntu-touch/ and
   
http://askubuntu.com/questions/606020/how-to-sync-contacts-and-the-calendar-on-ubuntu-touch-with-owncloud

The synchronization works fine, but the start and end times of calendar
entries are shifted by the UTC time zone offset when syncing from the
calendar app to my owncloud installation. In my case the times are set
back by two hours, because I'm on UTC+2.

The problem seems to lie at the Ubuntu touch side, as can be seen from
the synchronisation log file below.
This log file is based on a new calendar entry called "Test8" and a
start time 15.30 and an end time 16.30.
After syncing, the calendar entry appears in owncloud with a start time
13.30 and an end time 14.30.

Maybe this problem is linked to the following bug:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calendar-app/+bug/1372254

Any idea how to solve this problem? Or should I file a bug?


Best regards

Stefan Kamps
