The current calendar on the site looks to be using the Event module, which

calendars is a combination of the Date + Calendar modules. This setup is
quite different to Event from what I can tell (I haven't used Event module
at all), so it might take a bit more configuration to change to. However it
is worth changing to the Date + Calendar modules, as it give a full upgrade
path in the future. Another positive is that the Calendar module support
subscribing to ical format calendars, so the loco.u.com calendar should be
able to be used on the u.org.au website (no doubling up on adding entries).
Good evening Ubuntu-AU'ers,
I have a thought on the duplication of work across the different
communication methods we have for our team. Would anyone object to not
even running an events module on the main website (www.ubuntu.org.au)
and just providing an "events" button that is a direct link to the
loco.u.c site (http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-au) where it lists
all upcoming events and meetings anyway? We could add the RSS feed
from the loco.u.c site to the page as well so it will grab the details
of events as they're added and publish it to the website so that it
still acts as a sounding board for that aspect of the team.
This would be the simplest solution which in my experience is often
the best but I wanted to make sure this is an acceptable solution to
the team.

Hi Jared,
I think that solution to getting events on the website would work fine.
The issue of Thunderbird/Lightning showing events from the loco.u.c site
at the wrong time (using UTC instead of converting to local timezones)
would still exist with this method. However, I haven't yet had time to
test if using an events module on the u.org.au site that imports from
loco.u.c and then subscribing to that calendar in Lightning would fix
the problem, so at this stage I think your solution would be the easiest
to implement and use.
Regards,
Joel
