Open source calendar software is trivially available. Or there's wikis and microformats. Or even hand-crafted calendar files. Google calendars may be a popular solution, but they're a recent one and are hardly the only solution out there. And they're definitely not a mission-aligned solution.

Hey Mike,
I'm confused, as Oliver and I pointed out this is already on the wiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours#Upcoming_office_hours ?
In my opinion the main goal of the mission is getting information and education out to everyone as much as we can. This seems completely in line with that mission having it both on the wiki (completely open source, editable etc) and on another, heavily used and requested, location. Refusing to put it on google calendar solely because it's closed source would, in my mind, by nuts.

Come on, Michael, do you know a better solution? If there's no open

solution, Google Calender is the easiest way to fulfill the needs.

You cannot be serious. A google calendar for this? Fail. Completely.
Please let us know when there is an open source, freely licensed, community edited calendar available. Y'know, a solution that follows Wikimedia's main principles?

Hi everyone,
Per a great suggestion from Jan-Bart, I have created a public Google Calendar that anyone can subscribe to for IRC office hours:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=IRC_office_hours&diff=37145...
If this isn't working for anyone, let me know offlist.
Thanks!
