<snipped> Hi Navin, > There's already a calendar for tech events in Pune at upcoming.org. See > http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/5007/ > It has facilities for automated notifications. Right. But it also needs that I be a yahoo user. :( <rant> >From my perspective, the way I see these kind of services as an island. What I'm looking for say, subscribing to your calendar and you perhaps to mine. Why are we still stuck in the domain thing. The way I would have liked is to be able to subscribe to say Pune Tech's calendar and in turn Pune Tech could subscribe to my FOSS calendar (or public calendar or whatever I wanted to share. ) This would have been so much nicer, easier and happier for both of us. Also if you make the effort of calendaring and want to credit, there could be a small logo which is along with the event which I could forward if & when I forward the event to somebody. That would be cool. If somebody wants to works on it they could probably use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar as a starter. As always feedback is appreciated. And its pretty doable. > It is not just for PLUG events, but for any tech event in Pune - but it is > free (as in speech and as in beer - i.e. anybody can add events, and anybody > can subscribe) > > Is that roughly what you were suggesting?
