Can this calendar be added to the "Other Resources" room list in the WMF
Google calendar? After all, it ought to be treated just like any other
conference room for meeting scheduling purposes.
Thanks,
Rob

Steven,
Steven,
I've added your public Google calendar. Thank you for making it public
since you are clearly maintaining it anyway. If the open source version
can be fixed then all the better but I appreciate having this option.

Just to address this: the people duplicating the content are folks like
myself, Oliver, Philippe and Lydia who have to schedule office hours and
make sure they get into someone's calendar anyway. Using a shared calendar
(rather than putting them in the attendee's individual calendar alone) is
actually much more efficient on our end.
Thanks,
Steven
