I was unable to edit or add events to this calendar. It does not seem to be functional to the casual user? Calendaring is a huge issue. For Wikimedia NYC we are currently using Google calendars (one public calendar that lists many global tech events, and one private calendar for planning of tentative events). There has been an active discussion on Phabricator here about the need for a good solution for the many events.Consolidate the many tech events calendars in Phabricator's calendar: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T1035 Phabricator calendarhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/calendar/ Ideally open-sourced calendaring could be integrated better with Wikimedia projects, but this is not happening now as far as I can tell. Folks are welcome to use the WM NYC calendar if that's helpful -- located in the footer of the light orange box on our main Meetup page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC -- or possibly copy events into another calendar? That might be a great option, though from experience maintaining calendars can be time consuming. I also set up a calendar at one point for the existing Art+Feminism events here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism but due to lack of support it was abandoned about 7/8ths of the way through... Feedback, solutions, suggestions would be much appreciated.

In an effort to make scheduling easier for everyone, I set up an unofficial public calendar for US Wikimedia events: http://localendar.com/public/Wikimedia_US Nice features: * You can add events as you wish, which will appear on the public calendar once an admin approves the posts. Feel free to add events from local affiliates. Please note the location of each event *in the name of the event*. If an event is online/virtual, you can say "online". * You can click on an event, which will create a popup that will let you export the event to your choice of calendar formats. There's no obligation to post events here, but I hope that this tool will be convenient for everyone. This is an experiment and comments are welcome.
