Bug Description

Events added in the calendar app are synced to Google in UTC and not in the local time zone, e.g. if I enter an event on the phone for 21:30 local time (UTC+2) it gets synced to my google calendar as 19:30.

<mihir> renatu, you got a min ?
<renatu> yes
<mihir> renatu, need some info regarding this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calendar-app/+bug/1372599
<mihir> renatu, i am not sure whether it should go to Sync Monitor or EDS.
<renatu> mihir, well we do not have support for timezones on qtorganizer-eds yes, This is new in qt. (only after 4.3), and this will affect a lot of projects
<renatu> mihir, If I add support now this will break the alarms
<mihir> renatu, because it is really making calendar sync (useless)
<mihir> renatu, what would you suggest on this ?
<renatu> mihir, to implement that I will need to discuss with szombi and charles , and bill. This will consume some time and can break a lot of stuff
<renatu> mihir, sorry I do not have a solution right now
<mihir> renatu, okay
<renatu> mihir, just add qtorganizer5-eds as effect project
<mihir> renatu, yeah i have already did that.

The current implementation of qtorganizer5-eds does not support timezones because this is very new on qt (available only after qt 5.3).

Changing this now will affect some projects, we need to discuss this before start to implement it.
