Are you OK with this? I left the config work out, sorry...

<p>
KOrganizer now has better timezone support. For each event, you can
now express the the dates and times in the timezone of your choice. Or
you can say "I have a phone meeting at 10:00am, Moscow time" and it
will appear your own timezone on your schedule. In the agenda view,
you can display timescales from different timezones so you can see
when your events occur, both in your local and the other timezones.
