All,
Now that there is a way to subscribe to calendars, would it be possible to update our meeting calendar on the OASIS site?

Subject: [tcmembers] Subscribing to OASIS Group calendar feeds

If you rely on email attachments to populate your personal calendar with your OASIS TC and group meetings, I strongly recommend you subscribe to the calendar feed instead. The email .ics attachments have 4 known flaws:
1. They require your action to add the event to your personal calendar
2. they are not sent for recurring meetings
3. When a meeting is rescheduled your calendar will no longer be correct
4. It is difficult to predict how your mail client and calendaring application handle the ics file.
The best way to sync your personal calendar (whether it is in Outlook, Google Apps, etc.) is to subscribe to calendars in your Technical Committee Workspace. When you subscribe to your calendars, you create a direct one-way connection from Workspace to your calendar client. This ensures your calendars are always up-to date and removes the need to import individual calendar files from email messages. Instead, future changes to calendar events in Workspace will automatically appear in your calendar once this connection is established.
Subscribing to one Group's calendar:
From any TC or group calendar page simply click the "subscribe to icalendar" link
1. The link will open in the default calendar application you have installed on your computer (example: Outlook or iCal) and ask if you'd like to add the feed to your calendar.
2. Depending on the preference settings you have set in your calendar application, the calendar will automatically refresh with the most recent changes.

Subscribing to a Group calendar means you should never have to visit the Group itself (unless prompted to do so by your Chair) to view the web-based calendar and/or stay informed of future meeting events.
However, this means you'll need to make sure your calendar subscription updates regularly - you should be able to set the frequency when you first add the subscription itself, or do a manual refresh upon command (depending on your calendar program of choice).
Subscribing to all of my Groups calendars:
1. Navigate to your personal 'My Calendar' page in Kavi Workspace (available by selecting 'Calendar' when you activate the Groups pulldown menu).
2. Select the option to subscribe to all of your Groups calendars:

I hope this tip helps you manage your calendar a little better.
Happy New Year! Here's to a healthy, happy and more efficient 2014!
