Open Calendar

Shared calendar for events around open models and digital commons. Based on git & markdown to enable a collaborative management.

See online : https://open-models.github.io/open-calendar/

The recommended use is to import the calendar into your personal calendar (Thunderbird, Google Calendar...) through the calendar.ics file : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Open-Models/open-calendar/refs/heads/main/calendar.ics

Contribute

The most basic way to share your event on the calendar is through repository's issues. The event can then be integrated manually by a maintainer.

If you have some programming skills, you can try your hand at improving this piece of code. Experimental project.

Installation

First, download the repository locally.

Install python dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Prepare the event in a markdown file based on the following template:

## Title of your event

- Begin: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm UTC+1
- End: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm UTC+1
- Location: https://link-to-visio.org
- Categories: category 1, category 2

Description of your event.

Add the event using:

python -m git_calendar --add event1.md [event2.md ...]

See help menu for more options:

python -m git_calendar -h

Publish calendar

The project remains primitive and is managed rather manually. You then need to publish the calendar calendar.ics and the events folder on the repository.
