[Ofa_boardplus] Calendar difficulties

[Doug Ledford]

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?
