            Bug ID: 296991
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 4.8.x
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: korganizer-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Add option to store appointments in certain timezone
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: cwickert at fedoraproject.org
          Hardware: Fedora RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: korganizer

Please add an option to store appointments in a certain timezones rather than
converting the timezone to local time. Example: I have an IRC meeting every
week at 20:00 UTC. It is always 20:00 UTC, regardless of daylight saving or
traveling. Participants are around the world and for them the daylight saving
happens on different weekends than for me. Therefor the only way to meet
reliably is UTC.

In fact I think that an event should always be stored in the timezone the user
selects rather than being converted as one saves it. If the user manually
selected another timezone than the local one, he probably did this for a good
reason. In case people really want a date converted, one could add a chekbox
"Convert to local time", but the default should be to not convert but store it
in the selected timezone.

Or is "Floating" what I am looking for. Unfortunately this is not explained in
the KOrganizer handbook (see bug 296990)
