Well, it should be rather easy to convert Events from a standard format like ical to emails. So if you provide a .ical file, one can parse that rather easily and send emails based on the results. My requirements: * Integration with common email clients (Google, Evolution, Thunderbird, etc) - I want to see the marketing calendar alongside my existing calendar * Ability to edit the calendar - updated should get passed out to clients I don't see a need for email reminders right now and, as Tobi suggests, I assume that people will be able to set up email reminders based on the calendar, should they want them. In the meeting we discussed the possibility of a calendar hosted on Wordpress or an .ics file hosted on the GNOME infrastructure. Wordpress would probably lower the barrier to editing for many contributors. However, I do have a couple of concerns there: * Not exposing the calendar too much on the site. gnome.org is for public consumption, and this calendar is very much for internal purposes only (as much as we ever have something that is internal) * Keeping track of changes. It would be annoying if changes were made to the calendar and it wasn't clear what those changes were or who had made them. This is a problem that Git and the GNOME infrastructure has solved...

Isn't GNOME an open collaborative project? gnome.org is the first point of contact before people get into the nitty gritty. A calendar on there could appear as if it has general significance for the whole project, rather than being specific to the work done by the marketing team. I'm just saying that the calendar should be exposed in the appropriate place. Allan -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
