Just as a note, comments on event pages also have a date displayed next to them. This date appears to be in UTC. Whatever decision is reached about time zones should be applied to the comments as well.
-- Time of events is shown in UTC, not local time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610416 You received this bug notification because you are a member of loco- directory-dev, which is the registrant for loco-directory. Status in LoCo Directory: Confirmed 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. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~loco-directory-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~loco-directory-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
