Why Google Calendar? Why not an OSS solution?
Its important to understand that we are not being locked into using Google Calendar forever. If the News Team can find a better solution in the future, we can easily migrate away from Google Calendar.
The Fridge is currently running Drupal 5. There is no core calendaring functionality. The events module that it has currently does not support repeating events. If a meeting is supposed to be held weekly, 52 separate events have to be created for the year. Obviously, this is not a maintainable process. Other calendar modules were evaluated by the IS team, but they had security vulnerabilities. Also, most development of event modules have stopped on Drupal 5 and moved on to Drupal 6.
Drupal 6 handles calendars better. Development of modules supporting repeating events is on-going and will be released in the future. Since we need a solution now, going to Drupal 6 does not solve our problems.
#ubuntu-meeting bot
The #ubuntu-meeting bot currently changes to the topic in the channel to list current and upcoming meetings. It can handle individual events properly, but cannot process the iCal standard for repeating events.
This will have to be fixed in the future.
