makes no adjustment for daylight time, and PST->MDT is a two hour difference; however, I get the same result subscribing from Google Calendar. This is the same result I had when I manually changed Etc/GMT+8 to America/Los_Angeles using a text editor. I don’t
suppose “My Calendar” has an option for embedding DST information? Most of my limited reading on the subject seems to suggest that the iCalendar format requires explicit DST configuration, though I can’t imagine how this could be considered sensible behavior.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt">Yes. From what I can tell, the ics and google calendar events in the OFA calendar are totally missing the parent timezone, so when you open the link, it always assumes the times are
in your local timezone. Since you are Mountain time, it's an hour off. For me, if I open the links from the calendar, its off by three hours. The actual meeting invites that go out to the ofa_boardplus mailing list have the appropriate timezone info, so
those invites import into my calendar properly. It just seems to be getting lost in the import to the calendar on the website. Ken, can you confirm/fix if this is the case?<br>
