Hi,
I would really love if you could use ISO 8601 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 ) as a primary standard for datetime in all your news/announcements, with localized datetimes in the brackets.

So for instance, instead of
"Starts: Aug 20th 10 AM PDT (17:00 UTC)"
we would get:
"Starts: 2015-08-20 17:00 UTC (10 AM PDT)"

I know that it's not your (devs) local format, but it's the format 99.9% of people on the internet understand instantly without trouble. Right now, every time there is a date in your posts i stop for ~3 sec converting dates. First date to ISO and then search for UTC time to convert it to my local timezone.

I would love this!

As well, instead of "10 AM PDT" could we get "X AM/PM Your Local Time"?

I mean, cmon man. I don't want to f*cking convert time. Just have it do it for me. Should be doable.
