Dear all,
As announced before, over the last months, I have spent sometime working on a web-application that would allow us to manage calendar: fedocal.
I started with the idea to replace the #fedora-meeting wiki page [1] which in addition from not being up to date relies on a mediawiki table which a number of person find really hard to handle/edit.
Additionally it should be able to handle meeting reminder in a consistent and automated manner.
I also had in mind to be able to have a calendar for the infrastructure, things like planned outage and all.
I spoke with some person about this at the last FUDCon in Paris and they told me, it might be interesting to have a calendar also available for the ambassadors. Something that could/would replace the Events page [2]. This means that on the contrary to the #fedora-meeting calendar, the ambassador one can have several meetings at the same time and that we should be able to assign them to a region (EMEA/APAC/LATAM/NA). I took this into account and added the desired functionality to fedocal.
I think I am now close to an alpha release so I would like to call for tester and feedback. Do you like it? Do you find it useful? What should be added? What simply doesn't work?
All can go to fedocal's trac: http://fedorahosted.org/fedocal
If you are interested, I also wrote down some documentation: http://fedocal.rtfd.org
And of course, fedocal itself: https://fedocal.dev.fedoraproject.org
It is still a very young project and I am still trying to determine if we want this and if it fits our needs.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards, Pierre

I do like it!
I think it's pretty nice looking and hopefully will be helpful to our users/contributors.
Some possible ideas:
- A way to import from taskjuggler (possibly allowing a 'overwrite current calendar'). This would be useful for our program manager to keep a Fedora schedule updated in there.
- Would it be useful to have a high level ical feed? ie, 'all calendars'. So you could just subscribe to that and get any new calendar events that come along without having to know a new calendar was created.
I'll play around with it some more and see if I can think of anything else.
Thanks for working on it!
