I agree - I suspect there is a limitation / bug in the lightning code which doesn't accurately recognise the UTC field in the ics file and compensate for the local offset. Google Calendar does this job fine - so could act as the script that George mentions. I haven't tested if the same bug is present in Evolution - but I can if there is any interest. On a further point - I'm happy to just have one source for calendaring info - I'm happy if that is the loco.u.com site rather than u.org.au. It makes sense to keep the most up to date site (in terms of drupal version) the current one, pending an upgrade of the ubuntu.org.au drupal backend.
