Seems like that would be a great addition to @U064X3EF3’s https://clojure.org/news/2022/09/16/deref. 🤞 🙏

It could also be that there could be some kind of summary of future events once in a while :thinking_face: like a list for instance

There is a list on the Clojure home page - I try to catch stuff but prs on the site are welcome! The list is built from the event pages

@U028ART884X They're all posted to ClojureVerse as events so I think there may be a subscription available there to a calendar?

@U066L8B18 Is there a public subscription URL for these meetings?

@U04V70XH6 not at the moment. It might be a good idea to revive @U04V6FEES's initiative of the https://clojureverse.org/t/clojure-events-calendar-feed/. We have been using it in the past, and it has been great. At some point we stopped, as we did not know whether people were finding it useful, and I think it contained mostly Scicloj events (and back then, the relevant participants were following the relevant Zulip streams anyway). If this calendar feed gets more community attention & support, then I think it might be a neat solution. Anyway, for now, events announced at Clojureverse do have an Add to Calendar button (and a Going button), and I think it is not difficult to browse through them at the https://clojureverse.org/c/community-center/meetups-and-events/ and pick the ones you may like.

> I try to catch stuff That's not too good :thinking_face: It then means to not only manage your own private calendar but then also produce a summary of the upcoming events. :thinking_face: Motivation will wane down. > They're all posted to ClojureVerse as events In Daniel Slutsky's link I see forum topics with "last activity" time. That means that to put the thread on top one would need to post a message into the thread before the meeting. And if titles would contain the next time the meetup will happen then it's possible to get the dates from titles. But that forces the authors to maintain these topics which is not too good. That's also some not-too-useful spam. > have been using it <...> At some point we stopped I think pinning some kind of rules to #events chat would be a good idea (currently we have some old events there that are a leftover from 2020 which nobody cleaned up and didn't bother to think about). For instance if a weekly upcoming event summary would be pasted into #events chat then everyone would eventually know about it (at least the authors; the summary could include the Zulip link or doc link). And then the same summary could be used in Alex Miller's posts as he'd only need to copy-paste it (given the individual event authors would put the events in). > events announced at Clojureverse do have an Add to Calendar button That's not bad. Maybe it could be used somehow. It would be great to have uniform format. And we already have Eventbrite and Meetup apps that are data silos... (and I also don't use them because this requires to connect all of my identities) But they allow to create calendar events too. Maybe this is a non-issue then, not sure. But even then I would need to add events manually and read multiple forums to see the events. And then to save them into a calendar instead of just refreshing a single calendar. We have this in LT though (it's a very small country so it kind of worked in the past (I didn't go to meetups after corona started)): https://usergroups.lt/

> I think pinning some kind of rules to #events chat would be a good idea (currently we have some old events there that are a leftover from 2020 which nobody cleaned up and didn't bother to think about). could you explain what kinds of rules & cleanup you have in mind? > the https://clojureverse.org/t/clojure-events-calendar-feed/ any thoughts about that pathway? (in my opinion, it was great, but mostly lacked broader community recognition & support)

> https://usergroups.lt/ nice!!

There could be a pinned post with something that we could decide on doing. And then for instance everybody would be directed to Zulip from here. That post could say that "you can still paste it, but in order to add you to calendar you may want to go there". Also regarding -- I can also add that to my phone as a calendar if I don't want to visit the webpage. Probably this old Zulip calendar could also be displayed as a web calendar the same way. These are the pinned posts from 2020, they're useless:

@U028ART884X see the announcement of the Clojure calendar (cli): https://clojureverse.org/t/clojure-events-calendar-feed/6781/4?u=eval I just created an entry for the London Clojurians-event of Oct 4th to see if everything is still working 🙂 You’re more than welcome to add events. The command I just used:

$ zulip_events create --title "Clojure? That's a terrible idea!" --url  --zulip-auth "$ZULIP_AUTH" --start '2022-10-04T19:30:00+02:00' --description "$(cat <<'EOF'
description
EOF
)"

@U04V6FEES thanks all those many events you added to the calendar feed in the last couple of days! I will try to join that effort too. (However, for this to be worthwhile, I think it is important to make the calendar feed visible & well-known to broad Clojure communities.)

Agree on getting the word out - I will pin something in this stream.
