I'm doing a combined ical export over all of my .org files, which works fine. I then copy the resulting .ics file off to my web server to which I've pointed a Google calendar (an "add by url" calendar) which also works, after a fashion. The irritation is that no matter what I try and do, Google insists on seeing the calendar timezone as GMT, hence, all of my appointments are appearing 4 hours early (my TZ is EST5EDT but EST or "America/Indianapolis" or "America/Indiana/Indianapolis" all don't work either). I've set 'org-icalendar-timezone' and I see X-WR-TIMEZONE set correctly in the resulting .ics file. As an experiment, I hand edited the exported .ics file and added a "TZNAME: EST5EDT" before copying it up to my web server and it works fine; my appointments are show at the correct times. I've googled enough to know that there are fair number of people with a lot of angst over the timezone support in gcal but this feels like a much more pedestrian issue than what the bulk of those post are focusing on. Am I missing a config parameter somewhere? Do I need a special incantation or naming convention when I do an "add by url"? My setup is: emacs 24.0.50.2 and org-mode 7.01trans. Thanks, Neal
