[UCIMC-Tech] [IMC] coming tech changes to site calendar

[Jacob Barton]

ODDMUSIC has been using the family room in increasing amounts.  We're still
in proto-working-group status, but headed in that direction.  Anyway, taking
on the responsibility of scheduling that room would make our own scheduling
easier.

(In fact, there's insufficient soundproofing between the oddmusic studio and
the family room to hold concurrent events in the two spaces, so when we do
anything public, we have to spill out.)
