Comment	> This is Facebook's fault. FB has a horrible strategy for dealing > with timezones in the events API. > > Facebook stores the event time as if it were in Pacific Standard > Time. i.e., I'm on the east coast of the US, I enter an event to > start at 4:00EST. They store the event as 4:00PST translated to UTC. > So, when using the API you need to do the calculations yourself.

I took a > best fit approach, and do the translation based on the Horde user's > timezone. > > This works correctly on Facebook's website since they have access to > all users' timezone information.
