#1 — zettwerk.fullcalendar doesn't display some dates

As original reported here by "sean@..": https://dev.plone.org/ticket/12501


I'm using the development version of zettwerk.fullcalendar in Plone 4.1. I have a custom product that imports events via iCal and creates Plone Events for them, and they show up correctly in the fullcalendar_view, but events I manually create within Plone don't show up.

Using Firebug I could see that all events were being retrieved via AJAX, but while the imported events had a timezone of GMT+0 (e.g. "2012/02/18 15:00:00 GMT+0", my export script normalizes timezones), the event created within Plone had a timezone of "US/Eastern" (e.g. "2012/02/21 16:00:00 US/Eastern"), which according to the jQuery FullCalendar documentation (which zettwerk.fullcalendar uses) is not a valid date format.

In the _buildDict function in eventsview.py I changed "str(brain.start)" to "brain.start.ISO()" and it works great now, so that change should probably go into the next release.
