Great idea.

But why not having a Calendar for all projects. One might be able to
filter for a specific project or event type, be it "release", "dinner"
or whatever. Other events would become a better visibility, like
Apache CON or a retreat

I think this would be really good. However, I don't think we need to dictate where projects keep their calendar stuff. The starting point is for projects to select a solution that suits them and make us aware of an iCAL feed.

ComDev can then create a calendar that imports these various feeds. Moving forwards we might provide a funky front end that allows feeds of certain types to be aggregated into a personal feed - but lets not get ahead of ourselves ;-)

So who is going to create the comdev feed and add Grants Lucene feed as a first one. I know ComDev have discussed having a calendar of events in the past, if we provide some visibility for it maybe we can actually make it worthwhile.

I'm curious, do any projects have shared calendars?  For instance, the thought occurred 
to me that I might put up a Google Calendar for Lucene or Mahout that is public 
read-only, but committers have write control on it.  On the calendar, we could put things 
like potential release dates, reminders for PMC actions (such as review potential 
committers or do board reports).  Community members could submit "patches" for 
community related events such as conferences, meetups, hackathons, etc.
