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

to include people in on the discussion who are interested in working on
a calendar solution.

I would think that your calendar could be taken up as an example that we
could adopt.

I will post this note on the thread where we are discussing the
calendar. You may want to read through the post to familiarize yourself
with the discussion.

Cheers

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? Will ask that on the website list.)

Best wishes,
