Add community calendar link to homepage

We would like to add a link to the community calendar on the sdv.eclipse.org homepage. However, the calendar tool to be used is still TBD. This issue is to discuss the tool and provide a link so webdev can add it.

@paulinagueorguieva, here's a follow-up comment to my post on the duplicated bug: #17 (comment 877909)

Our system does not currently support the "add to calendar" functionality. That's not really an option for us in the short term. If you need that, I would recommend that we embed a google calendar on the site that you can manage.

Here's an example of a google calendar embedded on a webpage: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Photon/Simultaneous_Release_Plan

If we create this, you will need to manually manage the calendar.

CloudDev Tools links to their calendar from this page: https://ecdtools.eclipse.org/resources/community/ rather than embedding it.

Jakarta does the same: https://jakarta.ee/connect/

Sorry for the previous comment that came from @ajacko. I was doing some tests just before and needed to impersonate a user with the same level of access as anne.

I was going to say:

Perhaps we could include this request with #19 (closed) and include a section in the sidebar where we link to the google calendar in question.

@sgiacomoni2as Is the calendar something that the marketing team can create or do you usually ask Webmaster?

@sgiacomoni2as @paulinagueorguieva I believe we agreed to move forward with a Google Calendar.

@mward Do we need to make a request to Webmaster for a new Google Calendar to be created or is this something the WG can do themself?

I don't recall creating them in the past, but that really just proves my memory isn't great.

Since Google calendars are 'tied' to a user it probably make sense for it to be created by webmaster and then shared with @paulinagueorguieva who can then manage it. This prevents the calendar from either being removed(when someone leaves) or (in theory) the Foundation losing control.

I've created a calendar and invited @paulinagueorguieva so that should do it.

I have access to the calendar now, thanks @mward

@cguindon can we also have a CTA on the website homepage - right next the Events box on the home page or within the Events section with a link to subscribe to that Google calendar:

• https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=Y18yYW1waTJibW9rYTNxdGVyNGRjZWFwMWQ1Z0Bncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t

+1

We will start working on this task once the new event page is created/merge via !24 (merged)

@paulinagueorguieva As discussed on another issue, you will need to work with @sgiacomoni2as and the team to update the featured story.

However, we will use this issue to add a link to the google calendar in the sidebar of https://sdv.eclipse.org/news/events/

This issue is no longer blocked as the event page is now live: https://sdv.eclipse.org/news/events/

I am thinking we add a button that says: "Subscribe to our Calendar".

I created a quick mockup to illustrate what I was thinking: We could

@sgiacomoni2as @paulinagueorguieva WDYT?

The "c" in the calendar should not be capitalized unless we want to use title casing here...

@cguindon What would be a good way to implement this?

Do we add a calendarUrl property under [menu.sidebar] in config.toml? Then render it as a button in sidebar-block.html in hugo-solstice-theme. Or we can keep it generic and just call it buttonUrl, link, or something else? But I was also thinking this might bloat up the sidebar.

If this feature won't be added to the other sites then maybe we can just insert it directly using query selectors in js?

edit: I opened a blocking issue eclipsefdn/it/webdev/hugo-solstice-theme#249 (closed)

I am thinking of either having it shorter:

• "Add to your Calendar"

or more precise:

• "Subscribe to our Events calendar"
• "SDV Events Calendar Subscription"
• "Add SDV Events to your Calendar"

but the wording seems to be too long

I wanted to be more precise as well but couldn't because of the size restriction.

+1 for using "Add to your Calendar"

I added a calendar button for the Events and Past Events page.

Here is the preview link: https://deploy-preview-29--eclipsefdn-sdv.netlify.app/news/

Just click on Events and Past Events.

@paulinagueorguieva

@sgiacomoni2as Do you need this feature to be merged by the end of this week? Since Eric and Chris are on vacation we cannot rollout this feature without some minor workaround. But we don't mind if you want it asap. Otherwise we would just wait until Monday for Eric to get back.

This can wait until Monday to launch.

I had to navigate to the preview, but https://deploy-preview-29--eclipsefdn-sdv.netlify.app/news/events/ looks good to me. +1
