In "Add New Meeting" pages, time zone should be determined based on event location #290

What feature or behavior would you like to see:
When setting up a new meeting using the "Add New Meeting" feature, the time 
zone should be automatically determined by lookup of the location of the event 
(along with whether it will be utilizing DST on the day of the event) rather 
than draw from the user's local browser/computer settings.

There might also be use to having manual adjustment/confirmation of the time 
zone, if local variations are not easily determined, or subject to change due 
to some not easily reconcilable error.

Tell us a story of a user using this feature (invent humorous character names):

Marty McFly was scheduling a Less Wrong meetup in Hill Valley for 1985A. 
However, McFly was not thinking fourth-dimensionally whilst using the laptop of 
his nemesis, Biff Tannen, to do this while present in 1985B. As a result, the 
"on-time" continuum was torn asunder for all meeting attendants--

TO BE CONTINUED

Luckily, in 2012A, the Less Wrong team modified the code so that the Add New 
Meeting page drew on the intended local time zone conditions for the event's 
location and date, ensuring that the "on-time" continuum was preserved and the 
mistakes of 1985B were erased from time.
