Hi Amy and all, I'm working on setting up an Evergreen reports taskforce calendar right now. Thanks for starting us off, Dan - and Jason and Karen!

I will see what I can add - reports task force meetings, etc. Thanks to Jason Etheridge (and to Karen Schneider for being ahead of her time)!

I've written up brief instructions how to add a calendar and add an event to a given calendar here: http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=calendar:editing_the_community _calendar Jason seeded things with the "Evergreen ILS Community Calendar", used for the Community IRC meetings, and I've added calendars for the "Evergreen ILS Governance Committee" and "Evergreen ILS Developers". You can see the initial results of that at http://evergreen-ils.org/calendar - I was starting to worry about missing meetings, but now that I have added the pertinent calendars to my own calendar, I'm not worried any more :) I think it would be great to add calendars for the DIG, WIG, Communications Committee, Reports task force, etc. (It turns out that Karen Schneider had set up a similar community calendar year(s) ago but apparently almost nobody knew about it and it didn't get much use: that's Karen, always ahead of her time!) Oh, and a quick plan for making this calendar visible is to create a high-level "Community" page that would link in turn to the blog, planet, IRC, mailing lists, and now the calendar. And then I'll remove those links from our standard header and replace it with a "Community" link to the community page, with a whiz-bang drop-down menu for those who have JavaScript enabled. ======================= Amy Terlaga Assistant Director, User Services Bibliomation 32 Crest Road Middlebury, CTÂ 06762 (203)577-4070 x101 http://www.biblio.org ---- Bibliomation's Open Source blog: http://biblio-os.blogspot.com/ Join us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=171935276419
