Question #43676 on evolution in ubuntu changed: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/43676
C de-Avillez proposed the following answer: @Peter: > Hopefully there will be one in Ubuntu as standard. >>> Thankfully there is a choice Yes, indeed, the locale settings. So, you want a second standard, a brand new one, or that everybody get to use ISO6801? > More hopefully everyone's choice will be ISO 8601 in the very near future. Using ISO6801 is -- as far as writing down a date/time for my personal usage goes -- my _personal_ choice. Nevertheless, not everybody would feel comfortable with it. And replacing <whatever you have in your locale> by ISO6801 is as arbitrary as just using <whatever you have in your locale>. If you do not agree with <whatever you have in your locale>, please take it with your ISO national representatives. If you need a solution, please go upstream, and provide the maintainers with a patch. If the patch is well-written, does not force on the user *any* other standard (even ISO6801), and does not break Evo, it will be accepted. I can see such a patch: it defaults to the locale settings, but allows the user to select *any* formatting for date and/or time. By the way, I never said changing the time format to en_DK.UTF8 was a solution.
