LoCo Directory developers would like some input

[Rubén Romero y Cordero]

The coordinates of the location/google maps will ALWAYS give you the
right time zone where the events are hosted.

I think that making the teams enter the events in UTC time really is a
bad idea. I personally find it very annoying.

But asking me for the time zone is reasonable. Converting local time
to UTC time should be trivial.
