Send invite issue

[sgjava]

I've installed openmeetings_1_6_rc1_r3621 on Ubuntu 10.04 server and
all related dependencies. The server fires up fine, but I'm unable to
send invites since I get a NPE. I have smtp_server, smtp_port and
system_email_addr set. email_username and email_userpass are left
blank (but I've tried these as well):

[sgjava]

Here's the line of code in InvitationService:

String timeZoneName = omTimeZone.getIcal();

From what I can tell it is getting the user's timezone which is set
for the user and in the default.timezone settings.

[sgjava]

Ok, figured out why I was getting this error and it looks like a bug.
If you do a Send Invatation with a Validity period of Endless then
Timezone is disabled. If you select Period and select a Timezone then
it works!
