Public bug reported:
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.
