Few more thoughts on this: I think we could improve the usability of the
form:

* Use the HTML 5 date/time widget instead of free text for the event time?
* Do an additional REST service to get the UN location codes and
readable location names? The location then could be a much more readable
drop down list. We could cache the location names so it's usable
offline/does not degrade performance?
