Do teams have multiple timezones?
Will an event span >1 timezones?
Should the event organizer specify the timezone for each event?

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.
