Standardizing Pagerduty Timezones

Do you consume the Pagerduty API? Are you annoyed that the timezones they use aren't standard IANA timezone names used by pretty much every timezone library that builds on the Olson TZ database?

Yeah, me too.

I dug around and found a mapping, however it had a few inconsistencies. I've gone down the list and verified each one. Here's a JSON for you. Enjoy!

Diff of the zones I altered is below as well.

Libraries

• jQuery - The de-facto library for the modern age. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.
• Backbone - Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
• AngularJS - Conventions based MVC framework for HTML5 apps.
• Underscore - Underscore is a utility-belt library for JavaScript that provides a lot of the functional programming support that you would expect in Prototype.js (or Ruby), but without extending any of the built-in JavaScript objects.
• lawnchair - Key/value store adapter for indexdb, localStorage
