I travel a lot; I have meetings arranged with others (online) where I
don't know where I will be.  I simply want to be able to have meeting
times set as UTC and let org tell me when it is depending on which time
zone I am in (as I always update the timezone on my laptop when I change
timezones).

Getting caught up with what happens at the transition to daylight
savings etc. is just a distraction, in my view.  Being able to specify
UTC timestamps and have them displayed in local time will be an
incredible step forward for time related management in org.  Does it
solve everything?  No.  But the current situation is a mess for timezone
related issues and this enhancement would be very welcome.

Thank you,
eric
