When I want to add a new meeting for London timezone (I'm in Prague timezone), I change the drop-down menu, but the labels besides start and stop time still say Prague. So I'm confused which timezone this is going to be in. Are the labels besides start and stop time fields redundant anyway?

Indeed they are, I'm gonna remove them.

Also, I clicked Check Availability and it displayed a red sign. I don't know what it means, there's no tooltip. And there's no other event in that calendar at that time slot. I'm confused again :)

Good point, let me add a tooltip. But the problem is likely due to the same cause as for #88.

After I clicked Add, the event was added in Prague timezone (CET) instead of London timezone (WET).

That should not be the case, how do you check it?

I am thinking to add to the meeting_view the information regarding how the meeting is stored in the DB (since the date/time are converted on the fly to the user's).

I downloaded the iCal and it was defined with CET timezone.

I downloaded the iCal and it was defined with CET timezone.

From what I saw (and if I understood correctly), the meeting will always be marked as CET but in the meta-data about timezone that is present at the top of the file is explained when the time changes from standard to daylight and back.

However, I did find a couple of bugs regarding timezone management and I fixed them (for example changing the TZ when editing a meeting wasn't working). The dev instance is running the lastest code if you want to poke at it.

Merged

It seems to work now. I created a new event in London 8-9 AM, and the exported ics shows

DTSTART;TZID=GMT:20140116T080000
DTEND;TZID=GMT:20140116T090000

In the web calendar it shows at 9-10 AM in Prague timezone. Everything good.

awesome :)

Thanks for the testing
