Improve functionality of the Dask community calendar #195

Closed GenevieveBuckley closed 2 years ago

GenevieveBuckley commented 2 years ago

The embedded google calendar on the Dask community page is not a great user experience. Events are not displayed in your local timezone, and it's difficult to add events to your own calendar, or subscribe to the whole calendar.

The napari team are discussing replacing the embedded google calendar on their website with something more functional. This react google calendar has been suggested as an improvement:

My suggestion is that we wait to see if this works well for the napari team, and if so, do something similar for Dask.

Thanks @GenevieveBuckley. Would you mind pinging this thread when the updated Napari version is live?

GenevieveBuckley commented 2 years ago

Sure, I'll try to remember to do that!

I've opened a PR here https://github.com/dask/dask/pull/8312 which should make the embedded Dask calendar on this page display events in local time.

I'm going to leave this issue open for a while though, in case we can make a better solution using https://github.com/ericz1803/react-google-calendar

The napari team have ended up doing something a bit more custom for their calendar, it's likely not as straightforward as we'd hoped to duplicate that here.

Dask could still do something similar using react-google-calendar or similar.

I'm going to close this issue, since no one is actively working on this right now. If anyone wants to pick this up later on, great. If not, also fine.
