If an organization doesn't have an API driven method of posting events, like Meetup, Eventbrite, Facebook, and all they have is iCal then for iCal, we'd can paste the iCal link into the key column in the spreadsheet.

alexdresko [3:51 PM] Actually, meetup.com can be handled easier now that I look a little closer. Meetup.com exposes RSS feeds for groups.. Zapier.com (which is SUPER SUPER SUPER awesome) can consume RSS and post new entries directly to slack channels.. NEW MESSAGES

alexdresko [3:54 PM] Zapier also supports facebook pages....and google calendar, which can consume iCal, which would also then allow posting to slack..

alexdresko [3:55 PM] codeforgreenville/upstateevents DONE! :simple_smile:

alexdresko [3:59 PM] And, of course, slack can export all day in real time to your own hosted API, which could then surface that data as a central "Greenville" API/webhook for others to consume..
