Timezone independent events/events that lasts the whole day?
"startTime" and "endTime" always seem to contain a timezone. Friendica does also support some timezone independent events. This can be used for events like the "earth hour": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Hour This event is always from 20:30 to 21:30 local time. So when I transmit this to my followers around the earth, it must not be adapted to their timezone, but has to be kept at "20:30" of their local time. How could that be done?
And: How could I transmit an event that lasts the whole days?
looks like https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#dates is pretty clear that it doesn't support this :( It requires all times to have either an offset or Z utc specifier.
I know. That's why I'm asking how this could be done. :-)
Edit: What would you suggest for events that last a whole day?

Of course one could always transmit some extra flag and the UTC time. This would then be a sign for these kinds of events.
I think it's probably best to use an existing open data format, like CalDAV, for the content of Events and leave the date format for dating the Objects, themselves.
