[UCIMC-Tech] coming tech changes to site calendar

[Chris Ritzo]

Hey all,

Following on some of the tech announcements we had at last steering, the
Tech group is moving forward with some changes to the event calendar on the
main site.

These changes include:
- moving from WebEasel to a true date-based calendar, built into the
website.
- abilitiy to propose an event in specific locations, specify an event type,
associate an event with a particular working group, require event contact
information, include a picture in an event, & more
- site visitors viewing the calendar will be able to filter events by event
type, location, working group, etc. as well.
- provide ical feeds of the calendar to other calendars, and feasilbly be
able to consume ical feeds from those calendars also

Currently the shows work group approves events, so a group role will be
created on the main website which has admin access to approve events.

If spokes have comments or discussion on this change, or have suggestions
for additional features please let the tech group know either in reply or at
imc-tech at ucimc.org
