Every sksp member has or can have access to the google calendar. It's trivial to do, and it's not going anywhere. I'm also okay with removing all non-sksp events from now on, and only having space events there. I've heard that comment a lot.
Also, investigating if we can integrate with meetup, so meetup.com events automatically go there, would be handy. I really don't like the idea of having a third calendar platform, unless it's simply aggregating. The 'submit' form can go into an email or something to people who can create events, who can manually put them into google calendar (or, better yet, it emails them a .ics that we can simply 'accept'). In fact, meetup.com sends out .ics files as well, so we can possibly solve both problems at once. Just random thoughts. :) Ron On 2014-03-05 13:47, Kevin wrote: > Currently the calendar is manually updated on the site itself. > However, I don't see it being an issue to say add iCal import/export. > Google Calendar also supports iCal import/export. > > I have another calendar app running which is used to track my work > schedule.
