  • Subscribing to our online calendar will give you the times automatically in your local timezone: webcal://cid-2fbcf8017242e87b.calendar.live.com/calendar/Linked+In+.NET+User+Group+Events/calendar.ics This will also have the added benefit of automatically showing you upcoming appointments as we publicise them, and all from within your standard calendar application e.g. Outlook, Windows Live Mail etc. etc.

  • Inbar, is outlook supposed to transform the time zone accordingly with the link above? If it is then it puts it at 10:30am for my calendar here in the UK :-S, and that's defo not right.

  • could someone tell me when this event actually happens, when looking in the mail it states 9:30 AM PDT, looking at this appointment it states 10:30 AM which isn't the correct time in my time zone since I'm in europe. For us it should be 6:30 PM CET

  • I attempted to follow the LiveMeeting link and log-into the meeting way-early, hoping that it would tell me when the real start-time was: Title: LinkedIn .NET User Group Meeting ID: G2K4BH Start Time:Thursday, January 08, 2009 5:59:00 PM GMT-5:0 This is way messed-up . . . Someone please tell us when the conference REALLY is...
