Instead of a single "Events" calendar, we could have separate calendars for: Release parties FUDCons FADs Unconferences ... Or we could request upstream to include a fixed set of "tags", if we want to keep the one calendar? (We already do categorize our events in this manner) A subset of all the calendars on fedocal can then be exported and picked up by fedora-magazine. I already see some events on fedocal, but it wouldn't be too much work to request FAmSCo to make this a mandatory step for all events. (I can go ahead and file a ticket myself.) Basically, I think it'll make more sense to keep fedocal the main calendar for everything in the project, since it's FAS accessible and then export required information to various places, including fedora-magazine. Would it also be possible to put a link to fedocal in the calendar page. Something like: "There's a lot going on in Fedora all the time! The complete community calendar can be seen here: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar"; > And I would highly recommend to write the events directly to the > magazine..

If I'm not mistaken, only people who have write access to fedora-magazine can do this. I think adding events to fedocal and exporting them would be less work for you folks, since you won't have to keep a look out for new events and then manually update it, and simpler for the community. -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora!
