Hmm, I found the office hours helpful because those were theoretically all
relevant to me. The overview you're making is unfortunately more aimed
towards chapter offices etc, and includes a lot of events which are out of
reach anyway. Having an Overview of All has its merits, but it does mean I
will not include it in my google calendar because it would float the whole
thing too much.
Somehow it would be nice if there would be a menu selection option - what
kind of parts do you want to receive. But that is much harder to maintain I
guess...

Hello again,
I have started it some time ago to collect all important dates in the
movement, and always wanted to invite more people to contribute and to use
it: And here it is. :)
It is supposed to show dates from different categories:
* events: events with an international focus/audience with relevance for
the Wikimedia movement (Wikimania, Wikimedia Conference, international
Hackathons, cross-country Wiki conferences etc.; but also Creative Commons
Summit or OKcon). I’d rather not add local events with a restricted
audience.
* deadlines: Deadlines for several processes and applications like FDC
deadlines, closing dates for contests or Call for Papers
* dates: start (and if applicable) also end dates for activities,
elections, office hours, metrics meetings, software deployments (only the
official/big rollouts, like VisualEditor or Notifications)
* what else? Any suggestion is welcome!
It’s still in an alpha stage and I am happy to have more people
contributing to it. I would also like to enhance the concept a little (e.g.
more “categories”, use different colours, DOs and DON'Ts) and discuss which
types of dates it should contain and which better not – to keep it clear
and simple .
I am glad that a few people have already expressed their interest and would
love to coordinate this tiny project together with you to make it more
useful for all of us. :)
[As it is a Google Calendar, you can embed it in any web page (there is an
html code for that), or use it in your private calendar via csv / iCal]
Warmest regards (yes, spring has finally arrived in Berlin!)
