Joel,

I had a look into this and it apparently appears to be by design to
only work in UTC. The logic is that teams like ours that span multiple
time zones make it difficult to use any sort of set "local time" as it
will be different for different team members. Details can be found at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/loco-directory/+bug/711754 if you're
interested in the discussion.

I'm not sure but is there anyway to set a timezone change for each
calendar you import? For example create a rule to add +10 (or whatever
timezone it is you live in) to all events? Or can you set it to
adjust? I'm not sure just thinking of ways to make it work.
