Great idea.
While I still want to know if we still need to fill information in many
separate wiki pages, like[1] for all events and [2] for release parties?
Trying to remember update all these different wiki pages seems not make
too much sense if we will fill the information into the calendar.
[1]
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events
[2]
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F25_release_events
There may be good reasons to keep these pages. I'd like to hear what
people think.
Using a calendar has the benefit that the data is exportable in ics and
easily consumable for other uses. As an example, the start page could
list upcoming events.
With some tagging, which I don't think fedocal has but could
theoretically be extended to have (or with a constrained vocabularly) we
could even "slice and dice" the events.
I hope this would also be useful to commops and magazine in making sure
that events get posts and in helping post writers get priority for
reviews on those posts.
