events.apache.org <http://events.apache.org/> is where we list upcoming events - both primary ASF events (Community Over Code) and project events (Pulsar Summit, eg) that have been approved by Trademarks and ComDev.
This site is backed by a Google Calendar, which is maintained by myself, Mark Thomas, and a handful of other people. Due to changes in policy (I’m honestly completely unclear whether this is ASF policy, Google policy, or something else) the calendar page - https://events.apache.org/event/calendar.html - no longer works. There is a thread discussing this, and possible remediation, over on the plann...@apachecon.com <mailto:plann...@apachecon.com> list - https://lists.apache.org/thread/14v10tfbrjb50m21skl2mn1bgf6tj6go - but I’m really not sure how to proceed from here. I see two possible solutions here: 1) We move the calendar to something that doesn’t involve a third-party provider. This strikes me as the best option - we own the data, and have some method of displaying that data that doesn’t rely on anyone else. There used to be a *ton* of open source calendaring solutions that we could host on our site. (I, myself, used to maintain a Perl CGI calendar called WebCal, way back in the late 1900s.) I would appreciate someone stepping up to find, evaluate, and recommend an option here that we can put into the events site. 2) Try to jump through the various hoops to get Google Cal working again. This does *not* feel like the right approach, to me, since it seems that we’d just be kicking the can down the road a while longer until yet another privacy policy bites us. The events site is in Git here: https://github.com/apache/comdev-events-site Is anyone available/willing to help with this work? — Rich Bowen rbo...@rcbowen.com
