When we first started using Google calendar for tracking our increasingly busy schedule, it was with the caveat that if there was anything comparable that was an open source solution, we'd really rather use that. As Tom accurately points out, although it's pretty easy to give folks access to edit the calendar, the functionality remains Google's purview.<br>
<br>There were other arguments such as "why grow your own when there's something easy to use, such as Google calendar out there?" While this certainly does have merit, the argument becomes weak when we have a member already working on an open source application. Having seen the cool stuff that Tom and team have come up with for Burning Man, I think it would be great to have that sort of advanced event scheduling capabilities for Noisebridge as well.<br>

</div>It's really easy to get write access to the google calendar -- just drop<br>
an email to either Josh, myself, or one of the ~10 other admins with your<br>
Google login, and we'll give you access.<br>
