Seems reasonable... I'm looking into it and will post here when I have more info. --Anne Anne, how do we generally send out meeting notices? Just email? The other strategy is to have a Google Calendar for things. For example, things like the Eclipse Project Reviews... would be great to have a Google Calendar for that... so I could simply subscribe to it. http://www.eclipse.org/projects/whatsnew.php The only notices we've done have been from Google Calendar AFAIK. Since we almost never have review calls, how valuable would be it be have a review calendar? (In reply to comment #4) > The only notices we've done have been from Google Calendar AFAIK. Since we > almost never have review calls, how valuable would be it be have a review > calendar? I intend to remove the notion of a review call with the next iteration of the EDP in favour of a review period (pretty much what we do today anyway). How many other meeting notices does the EMO send out? I'm pretty sure the answer is "none". Whatever the case, I'm pretty sure that there's no automated component, or process addition here. I would suggest that we make it a policy that the EMO do its best to provide a meeting notice with any invitation to any meeting henceforth. Anne, do we have a convenient place to document such a policy? This is not simply about review meetings but rather about requesting the EMO to use a modern calendaring system for anything that involves scheduled events. Members meetings would be a good example. The councils themselves are using calendars to schedule their meetings... Adding Lynn. Lynn, what do we use for scheduling events on Live? Who schedules Members Meetings? For webinars, I post them to Eclipse Live and then separately to a Google calendar: http://bit.ly/azovxK. Nathan has icons set up at the top of the page so people can go to the Google calendar URL or get an ical file. This is related to bug 184685 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=184685) on posting all events to a Google calendar, though I wouldn't mark it a duplicate. Using a Google calendar is easy, if that works for the majority. I think we would just need to decide how finely we want to divide the lists - e.g. put all Eclipse meetings into 1 calendar or separate ones for Board, project reviews, conferences, etc. - and appoint a "master scheduler" for each calendar that is responsible for posting. Also, if the group does like the idea of using a Google calendar, I volunteer to maintain the Board meeting and conferences calendar. A calendar for board meetings, including the board's committee meetings, e.g., the IP Advisory Committee, would be awfully nice! Having 30 board members transcribe the information about meeting times from note form into a calendar form seems wasteful... A Google calendar for Board meetings and related working group calls is done with info sent out to the Board mailing list. Janet has write access to add IP call info there as well. There's already a public calendar for Eclipse Live events (icons at top of http://live.eclipse.org) and I added a public calendar for Eclipse Foundation events (icons at top of http://www.eclipse.org/community/events/), which will include members' meetings. Wayne/Anne - will you be adding any calendars or is this bug fixed? Marking as fixed. Please re-open if other Google calendars are needed. |
