Hi,
From #11 OrgMeetup content [1] I see that a date with timestamp and
timezone is used:
<2024-09-11 Wed 19:00-21:00 @+03,Europe/Istanbul>
With orgmode version 9.7.10:
1. If I try to to =C-c C-c= minibuffer says: "Not at a timestamp"; well,
at least, does not try to remove the timezone part
2. Cannot change anything on it with =S-<up>= nor =S-<down>=
3. If I click the timestamp, minibuffer says: "This should not happen"
4. In the org agenda, the event appears in date 2024-09-11 and in my
local time 19:00-21:00, so, no timezone calculation is done
I saw that there were some discussions about this, but nothing
consolidated in the documentation, maybe, at some point, it should be
here [2]
Is this something is going to arrive on 9.8 ? Is this something that
only works in development version?
Cheers,
pinmacs

This is an idea we have discussed as a feature request and decided that
we should eventually implement time zone support. We even decided on the
approximate timestamp markup. However, there is no actual code in Org
mode that implements timestamps with time zones. Patches welcome!
See https://list.orgmode.org/87tu063ox2.fsf@localhost/ and the parent
thread for details.

I am repeatedly seeing this in different places: patches welcome for the
new timezone orgmode timestamps. But it points to a thread with 366+
messages.
I propose to, first off, reduce complexity of the task: Someone should
summarize that lengthy conversation with the proposed specification.
From there, we can move it to a worg page, then, we have a easily to
share link to say, this is what we want, patches welcome.

Is the specification provided in
https://list.orgmode.org/87tu063ox2.fsf@localhost/ (that exact message)
not clear?

What do you think we should put on that page?

Ah ok, finally! I did not know that on that email contained the
specification. Thank you for clarifying me that.

First of all, it is optional, so take this as "feedback" from user
perspective.
Motivation: I disagree that an email from a mailing list should be the
reference for all orgmode users on the current state of something that
matters (maybe not for everything). When I search on that topic, I got
lost, and that's why I asked on the mailing list. From a user-wide
perspective, it is better if it's a web page (which could source to the
original email).
What information would be on that page? Right now, just the same
information that in that email content from "The proposed new timestamp
syntax" to its end. With a brief introduction saying that this has a
status of a proposal and patches welcome (when this is already done, it
could be a page where people can share recipes on timezones).
This looks better and clearer
https://orgmode.org/worg/timestamp-timezone
Than
https://list.orgmode.org/87tu063ox2.fsf@localhost/
Of course, on my personal basis, I no longer need that because I already
know it, but other people might have that question; or maybe not because
of the additional noise I produced!
And now let me continue with your amazing presentation on emacsconf2024
about the org update situation. And congratulations on stepping up
officially as the new org mantainer
Thanks and health,
pinmacs
