The calendar does not state the timezone

Hi, the calendar does not state the timezone.

Does the below look like the correct time for today's meet? I'm assuming that is in my own TZ, which is CT, but that might be wrong... 🦆

Oh man, thanks for pointing this out. I assumed it would show the events in the user's local timezone. But in fact, that is showing you the time in Pacific time.

What if you try this link:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src=a3dcd84e7182c106b78a6738547612b90e2ff83c021d9048b557b1bfc35bcae8@group.calendar.google.com

I noticed the other link had this parameter at the end of the URL: &ctz=America/Los_Angeles. Hopefully the above link without the parameter does the right thing, but if it doesn't, then a workaround could be to include many different links on the Wiki, each one with a different timezone parameter.

Hi, that links still shows the same time:

@countvajhula
Sorry I had to drop off early the other day without discussing much. Something came up and I couldn't stick around. I'm looking forward to a future meetup where I may attend fully.

Thank you for verifying. That's too bad that Google Calendar doesn't automatically do the conversion. I'll aim to add timezone-specific links to the wiki soon.

And no worries, that was a particularly in-the-weeds meetup since we're so close to release, and there was a lot (too much!) to cover. Hope to see you again soon!

That would be much appreciated! Keep me posted. All the best.

OK, I went wild and added a bunch of timezones of people who I know attend :)

Feel free to reopen if there's anything still wrong. Thanks so much for bringing this up, it's so easy to miss!

That's a great implementation 😄 Reminds me of how time.is does it.
