Shareable gCalendar link: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/b/2?cid=aW5wdXQuY29uZkBnbWFpbC5jb20 (based on input.conf@gmail.com acc)

• Anyone can subscribe to the calendar
• Listed users (events orgs) can add events
• Event title should specify event type, name and host
• When the date is not final the event title should contain a flag [r] (reserved)
• Event body may expose any information at event owner discretion

Event title examples:

• [r][conf] Input: The Hardcore / kottans -- reserved slot for Input: The Hardcore conference by kottans
• [conf] fwdays JS -- final date for JS conference by fwdays
• [ws] Git / kottans -- final date for Git workshop by kottans
• [course] Frontend: frameworks / kottans -- final date for Frameworks module within Frontend course by kottans

How to enlist an event:

• an authorized user may add event directly to the calendar
• any person may add an event to their calendar and invite input.conf@gmail.com (this way the event appears in this calendar, however can be unlisted by input.conf@gmail.com)

Parseable event body structure:

• title: - event title for publications
• date_range: - useful to denote a verbose dates range (e.g. February 1 - June 15, Saturdays)
• ticket_price: - 'free' or price or price range (examples: free, EUR 125-300, UAH 300)
• tickets_url: - link to tickets sales / attendance registration
• website_url: - event dedicated web site
• fb_url: - event on fb
• tw_url: - event feed on twitter
• arbitrary text as the event description

Any field above is arbitrary

• calendar subscription link
• structured email invite to an event
