Yep, that is how it works. This seemed to make the most sense for potential remote events, i.e. when people want to Skype into an event. I think it could totally make sense to instead display the time in the local timezone, but it’s not obviously better to me and would require a bunch of engineering effort. But if someone else feels strongly about it, I would definitely merge a PR and help getting them set up with the codebase and everything to make that change happen. Also if enough people feel that the other way would be better, then I can get around to fixing it.
I do think that in general, focusing on listing events over groups was a mistake. When I get around to fixing our UI, I think the community page should feature groups a lot more prominently than events, which also mostly sidesteps this problem.
