 Replying to [comment:8 iandunn]:
 > It's even worse than that for [https://www.meetup.com/learn-wordpress-
 discussions/ the learn.w.org discussion groups], which are ''only''
 online, and not tied to any particular geographic location. Meetup.com
 still requires groups to pick a location, though, so it has San Francisco
 listed. So users all over the world see those events in Pacific Daylight
 Time.

 For online events, could we perhaps leverage the fact that WordPress sends
 it's timezone with the Events API request, and convert online events into
 the requests TZ?

 Passing the Time + Timezone back to core is obviously important for
 display in future, but for existing clients, Time + Assumed Local Time is
 probably just as useful immediately.
