Google Calendar integration is one day early

[jywarren]

Please describe the problem (or idea)

What happened just before the problem occurred? Or what problem could this idea solve?

I posted this note with assoc. power tag for the date:

https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/02-05-2018/local-environmental-action-2018-in-boston

What did you expect to see that you didn't?

The RSS feed generated:

https://publiclab.org/feed/tag/event:*.rss

From this code:

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/master/app/views/tag/rss.rss.builder

...is read by IFTTT.com and put on our Google calendar:

https://publiclab.org/events

But it seems to place it one day early. I'm wondering if this is a time zone error?

Indeed! I see it's listed as GMT time (+0): <pubDate>Sat, 17 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>

I think if we can fix that on this line -- perhaps by substituting +4 -- it'd start working:

plots2/app/views/tag/rss.rss.builder

Line 18 in 2e26a80

xml.pubDate DateTime.strptime(node.power_tag('date'), "%m-%d-%Y").rfc822

This is still an issue -- and a bit more complex -- the changes we made in #2279 seem to have the right timezone offset now, but is mysteriously still on the wrong day -- see below:
