[libreoffice-marketing] ODF community focused on-line calendar
Howdy, Recently there has been interest in getting a calendar, listing events an items of interest to the LibreOffice community and I would suspect it would be of equal interest to the OpenOfice community as well. I've tried to be pro-active in this regards and have setup a web based calendar for just such a purpose. I'm looking for help in assembling calendar entries focused on Free Open Source office tools supporting the OpenDocument Format (ODF) standard. Anyone can post events, comments or messages to the calendar without registering at the site - new posts from non-registered individuals will need to be moderated before being added to public access views. So, I'd also be interested, quite, in anyone that would like to help maintain the calendar with me. The calendar events can be added to your web sites via RSS feed, our any iCal and other client. The calendar web interface is found at: http://lo-portal.us/cal/ Details (more to come) including syndication links are available at: (yet another new site that went up this week) http://lo-portal.us/oucv/node/3 Thanks in advance for any help and I'm looking forward to any questions anyone may have about ways to utilize the service. Best wishes, //drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I missed a lot of it, but it was hardly new - well, it's not intended to be a replacement for the baked in calendar - I think what i just looked at is great, so far. The site I'm setting up is intended to be about more then just LibreOffice, but certainly about LibreOffice - or of interest to individuals with interests that overlap those of LibreOffice and TDF. So - It could be that in the end what I up, which is not a lot to put up with no customizing beyond a few dozen lines of html, will be replaced on the LO-Portal CMS by just taking the LibreOffice feed and aggregating it - or I might find a way to aggregate it right into the WebCalendar instance.. So - no don't take this as any indication to stop working on a LibreOffice calendar on the main site, it's not intended to detour that. In fact just logged in to the CMS and events page - excellent, I'll add a few items for 2012. _and_ not sure this worked but I tried to subscribe the OUCV Calendar via .ics subscription to this calendar...nothing came over - at least not on the drat view of the page (I assume the new feed would not display on the published site, as I did not publish the updated page after the - and perhaps it doesn't actually try to read the feed until the page is published - don't know?

Hi Drew Le 2011-12-12 10:04, drew a écrit : I missed a lot of it, but it was hardly new - well, it's not intended to be a replacement for the baked in calendar - I think what i just looked at is great, so far.

We are already stretched to the limit with the membership and I have not seen any more additions to the membership list in quite a while. We can't keep creating all of these projects in the hopes of having someone taking them up and maintaining them when there is really no one to do this. We really only need 2-3 people on the international calendar to keep it up. So, to make things easy on ourselves for now, a native LibreOffice calendar on SilverStripe with login/password for members who are interested in maintaining it, is what I would recommend. I'll throw my name in for this. As to ease of use, so far, from what I can see, I would rather use the Google Calendar than the SilverStripe calendar module. The Google Calendar is easily set up and can easily import ical files in addition, it is very easy to add/reduce categories. On top of this it would be extremely easy for NL groups to add international events onto their Google Calendar scripts if we were to all adopt the Google Calendar (this is if they wanted to include the International calendar events into their own calendars). I think we are almost at the point of deciding which calendar solution to use. BTW ... if you are using WebCalendar, it has terrible connectivity with Thunderbird Lightning. Some connections work great while for unknown reasons others do not. This is one of the reasons I quit using it. Although the main dev for the project is extremely helpful. But, IMHO Google Calendar is quite a step up from this, if you don't mind their hosting your calendar. The scrips are easy to add to a site, here is an example on my site[1] (the events are in 2012), I'm in the process of moving some events to a Google Cal, just a couple more hundred to go. I have another with a couple of thousand to move/input -- I'll be doing this next week.
