Will look into it, I think it does. Otherwise maybe we should find one that supports this feature... Cause it would be tiring for us copy-pasting events all the time.(as we agreed on the meeting)

Thanks guys,

I agree with Kevin, I think that would make it easier for you Zacharias, that way we don't have to do twice the work coping and pasting events from the Fedocal.

I think what Christropher was trying to ask here was:

Does this calendar use an ical feed from the existing fedocal?
Or could it be made to do so?

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar

It would be nice to put all our fedora events in fedocal and then just
use ical feeds to display where you need to.

So I made some tests with the calendar, and it full supports iCal as an import option. The only problem now is that the Fedora Calendar doesn't have all the list of Events (Comparing with the events posted on wiki). So either way we have to post the events on our own, either on the magazine's calendar or in the fedora calendar.. And another problem when importing is that on the Fedora Calendar all the events are in one category (instead from the magazine which we categorize them to FUDcons, FAD, Release Parties etc..) So when importing we have to categorize them again. (except the meetings, which can sort them all under one category)
And I would highly recommend to write the events directly to the magazine.. (Besides the events are few and I don't think that it would be a problem posting them to the calendar every day or two ;)..)
