Thanks Quim for your response - I really appreciate you helping me understand this better, but I'm still not fully grokking this, perhaps because I am a staffer who exclusively uses Google Calendar. Is the issue that there are events that are open to non-staff that are being managed in multiple places, making it confusing to know where to look for event information? When you say 'Wikimedia events' - do you mean Wikimedia movement events, or Wikimedia Foundation events, or something totally different? And is the proposal to fully migrate staff and non-staff-specific events out of Google calendar into Phabricator?
