<div dir="ltr">Thanks Quim for your response - I really appreciate you helping me understand this better, but I'm still not fully grokking this, perhaps because I am a staffer who exclusively uses Google Calendar. Is the issue that there are events that are open to non-staff that are being managed in multiple places, making it confusing to know where to look for event information? When you say 'Wikimedia events' - do you mean Wikimedia movement events, or Wikimedia Foundation events, or something totally different? And is the proposal to fully migrate staff and non-staff-specific events out of Google calendar into Phabricator?<div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div>Arthur</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 1:25 PM, Quim Gil <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:qgil@wikimedia.org" target="_blank">qgil@wikimedia.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><span class="">On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 10:13 PM, Arthur Richards <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:arichards@wikimedia.org" target="_blank">arichards@wikimedia.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Quim, I read the description of the task you shared but I'm afraid I still don't understand what you mean by 'problem of calendars in Wikimedia' - can you please share more about what the problem is that you see and are trying to resolve?</div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>We have too many calendars in different supports that don't integrate with each other.
