So a little background on this feature... Joe Meno and I were talking the other
night about the idea of shared calendars. I was explaining to him about my
Central Florida Tech calendar, that I had invited a person or two to add
events to it & before I knew it, there were 10-15 people that were adding events
to the calendar -- it grew beyond my expectations & took on a new life of its
own. It was being used on different web-sites & it was a great way about
getting the word out there about your tech group.
Joe was talking that his BrickJournal LEGO calendar was getting hard to maintain
with all his editorial jobs and would like to see it replaced with something
like a community shared LEGO calendar. So last night we came up with 5 different
types of LEGO calendars:
- LEGO Club Events
- LEGO Conventions
- LEGO Contests
- LEGO Displays
- LEGO Mindstorms & FLL Events
I had a shared my LEGO calendar that I maintained for myself & GFLUG/GFLTC with
Joe, Joe merged all of his events into it, the calendar then got renamed, and
then we started moving events into their perspective calendar (we still have
more work to do, but its looking better).
Heres the shared Google LEGO calendar integrated into BrickBuildr screenshot:
So the idea here is, if you maintain a web-site, or are a part of a LEGO group
that would like to get the word out about your club events, or would like to
contribute to the shared calendar, send me a e-mail or Flickr mail me & Ill
send you an invite, so you can start adding events.
Disclaimer: These events are public for everyone to view and subscribe to. No
personal resident addresses or phone numbers unless you want everyone to know
about it. The information put into each event should be to attract people to
your display, show, meeting or activity.
--Mike.
