Re: [teampractices] Who doesn't love calendars?

2016-04-07 Thread Arthur Richards 
Thanks Quim for your response - I really appreciate you helping me
understand this better, but I'm still not fully grokking this, perhaps
because I am a staffer who exclusively uses Google Calendar. Is the issue
that there are events that are open to non-staff that are being managed in
multiple places, making it confusing to know where to look for event
information? When you say 'Wikimedia events' - do you mean Wikimedia
movement events, or Wikimedia Foundation events, or something totally
different? And is the proposal to fully migrate staff and
non-staff-specific events out of Google calendar into Phabricator?

Thanks again,
Arthur

We have too many calendars in different supports that don't integrate with
each other. Frequently events are expected to be introduced in several
calendars, often they are not introduced in any. WMF employees frequently
pay attention only to what shows up in their Google Calendar.

Nick shows a glimpse of the problem at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T1035#19336

Now imagine that we could submit Wikimedia events in Phabricator's
calendar, following one process, and then users would have ways to query
that calendar and integrate the data in their calendar services /
applications.

Quim, I read the description of the task you shared but I'm afraid I still
don't understand what you mean by 'problem of calendars in Wikimedia' - can
you please share more about what the problem is that you see and are trying
to resolve?

Some of you might have realized that we have a problem of calendars in
Wikimedia. If you are interested in improving / resolving this problem at
least in the context of Wikimedia Tech, please check

Interesting video. I can appreciate Boyd's Law of Iteration.
