Feature changed by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312584, revision 4 Title: Connect calendar on news.o.o to connect upcoming events openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently the news team manages upcoming events. Not everyone sends in new events - team meetings are usually there but openSUSE @ a conference almost never makes it. Connect however has a nice, easy to use 'event' system which IS used by the ambassadors already. Having these show up in the calendar on news.o.o would be awesome! It would also be useful for team meetings, of course, as well as all other openSUSE related events. Relations: - Integrate some social features in connect for promo of events (feature/id: 312184) - Enhance events page in connect to be used for planning (feature/duplicate: 312178) + - Show what events an user has attended (feature/id: 312181) Use Case: On Augst 6-12 in Berlin the Desktop Summit takes place and a lot of openSUSE people will be there. Create a event on connect and let everyone click "I will attend". Now on news.o.o this event shows up in the calendar and anyone can see who will be there from the openSUSE team! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It lowers the efforts required to manage events by the news team. It also lowers the barrier for people to add events and makes sure more events show up. The calendar could also have a nice(r) view somewhere and attendance can show up on attendees' webpages. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312584
