@jrtechs I added the calendar link to the home page (replacing Talks since those are fed into the calendar as well), does that work for you? The navbar is pretty full and it might be worthwhile to make a separate issue to talk about condensing that, maybe by adding a dropdown

When talking with @jwflory he pointed out that proper recurring events would be nice. I added an rrule frontmatter parameter to iCal generation which uses the iCalendar RRULE spec for events. Since RRULE allows infinite recurrence, there's an arbitrary limit of 25 occurrences.

@ct-martin I like these changes, as a future issue I think we could do a ritlug website 101 where we explain what needs to be done for the following things:

• planning of events (for calendar metadata)
• talk announcements
• slides for talks
• events post (things like Maker faire)

Still not fully convinced whether this should be in the run book or this repo.

Still not fully convinced whether this should be in the run book or this repo.

From my point-of-view, the answer depends if you expect this to be a task almost exclusively done by eboard (i.e. Runbook) or if you want to open it up more widely to the community (i.e. contributing guidelines for this repo).

@jrtechs given that we have presenters add talks sometimes I think it should be in the repo. There has been prior conversation in issues about README vs CONTRIBUTING and so on for some of this. I think this would be better to have as an in-person conversation at FOSS Hours or RITlug. Feel free to create/update an issue and assign it to me
