[Womoz] Google Calendar for WoMoz events Proposal

[Anamaria Stoica]

Hi all,

I took the liberty to create a calendar on Google Calendar for WoMoz events.
I put in so far some of the events listed on the wiki. Google Calendar is
one way to go, other options are possible of course. We could give it a try
and see how it works for us.

The calendar I created is public and can be accessed at this [0] URL. It
will appear in public Google search results (good thing).

You can customize the way it looks here [1].

The calendar can be embedded using the following HTML:
<iframe src="
http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&amp;wkst=1&amp;bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&amp;src=mve6q9pukv02kp2hmi550mcha0%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;color=%23B1440E&amp;ctz=Africa%2FCairo"
style=" border-width:0 " width="800" height="600" frameborder="0"
scrolling="no"></iframe>

I tried to embed it in the wiki's calendar page [2], but I guess HTML
embedding is not enabled by default, as it says here: "HTML and PHP
embedding is disabled by default in the configuration. If disabled, the code
is displayed instead of executed." [3].
Maybe you could help me with this.

Google Calendar allows you to give extra editing rights to specific people
(besides viewing all events, available for everyone, as the calendar is
public), like:
- making changes AND managing sharing
OR only
- making changes to events

To access the calendar from other applications (like any feed reader), you
can use this URL [4]. Or from applications supporting iCal format [5].

Google Calendar also has a nice feature for e-mail notifications.

I only gave Delphine, Julia and Alina (you said you'd like to help with the
events :) ) editing rights so far. Please let me know if you'd also like to
be added and test it! :)

Also, other ideas for using better calendar services are welcome

Thanks,
Anamaria
