git-calendar for CodeRefinery

Manage calendar events (converting them to an iCalendar feed, which can be imported into different calendar programs. The complied feeds are available (with instructions) via Github Pages.

Using the calendars

• You can import these calendars into your own calendar program.
• Visit the GitHub pages site of this repo - this has more instructions.
• You can find various calendars available with their descriptions. Take the link to the .ics file, and add it by URL to your calendar program (instructions are on the page). This normally appears as a separate calendar which you can toggle on and off (you need to copy the events to your own calendar to show the time as busy).
• Your calendar program will poll the feed periodically, and any updates will appear on your calendar program. This can be anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

Adding events

• Find the relevant calendar under calendars/, to which you will add your new event.
• Add your event there
  • Realistically, copy an existing event
  • See the yaml2ics test_calendar as an example.
• Push or create a pull request.
