I'm rolling out OpenMeetings, and I have a few questions.

1) I'd like to shut off the messages area... I think this is a little confusing, and it didn't work well for me. Is there a switch to remove it from the top-right menu area, or do I have to learn how to build this app from source?

2) I'm having some time zone shift problems. The main group is in GMT-5, but have satellite offices across the US GMT-6, GMT-7. Should I set the default to GMT/UTC, and then have each user declare their timezone? I think it's set to GMT-5 right now, and some appointments shifted times. What's best practices on time zones?

3) Is there a way to change the way dates display in text form. It keeps showing DD-MM-YYYY (European Abbreviation), where in the US, people expect MM-DD-YYYY (US Abbreviation), or maybe DD-Month-YYYY 3-Oct-2012 would work for everybody, but introduces language into date display?

4) I just installed 1.9.1, and I can't seem to drag files from the My Files area, to the Room Files area. I can upload to both, and both work fine. I can drag recordings from My Recordings to Group? Recordings. Is this a bug, or is it me?

5) There's a mismatch in naming of Room types, from the Calendar Add Event dialog, it shows, Conference, Event and Restricted. It's unclear to me, what Event is? Is this me, again?

This mailing list has been very helpful, and much appreciated. Any insight you can provide will be much appreciated.
