#openwebcalendar — Public Fediverse posts

In the past months, #volunteers have contributed translations in 15 languages to the #OpenWebCalendar! Thank you very much!

Release 1.50 is on its way with your contributions.

Thanks also to @weblate for providing a web interface to make it easier to contribute translations.

If you feel called, to add or improve your language to a privacy friendly calendar for websites, follow this link: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/open-web-calendar/

I am grateful: The #OpenWebCalendar is one of the #opensource projects that get funded by @NGIZero this year!

We have funding for a lot of the #Python stack that it takes to build #calendar applications and #share the appointments via #ICS files: #icalendar #XWRTimezone #RecurringIcalEvents #ICSQuery #Mergecal #Caldav

#public #funding of #opensource #critical infrastucture goes a long way.

Read an opinion on how @nlnet's funding of #Python's calendaring stack does not only benefit end users through the #OpenWebCalendar but contributes to a vibrant #digital, #decentralized and self-governed EU #economy. #Collaboration and #competition in the digital market require open-source and public standards.

Thanks to the funding by @nlnet, I added #event sign up via email to the #OpenWebCalendar. In this tutorial, I show how to enable others to sign up to your events on your @nextcloud #calendar.

#selfhosting #caldav #ics #nextcloud

I am creating a series of #videos about the #OpenWebCalendar which you can embed into your #website with privacy and customization features. I wanted to use @peertube but I do not have an instance for that. Who could I ask, is there an instance that would host some technical tutorials? 🤷

I use #youtube for now but I would like an #alternative here.

The #OpenWebCalendar has a new #UI!

You can head over to https://open-web-calendar.hosted.quelltext.eu and try it out:

- #edit the #calendar AND see it updating
- #encryption protects #private calendars and the #password
- #CalDAV support
- Change the size to see how it works on other screens

In the picture, the URL to the Personal CalDAV calendar is encrypted and the events show up.

Technically, I really enjoyed #flexbox and #CSS variables i.e. for the dynamic resizing.

#ics #icalendar #website #embed

The #OpenWebCalendar now supports #encryption of #calendar URLs to protect sensitive data like passwords.

Now, you can publish an #event calendar on your website even if you require a password for it - without anyone seeing the password.

Try it out: Head over to https://open-web-calendar.hosted.quelltext.eu and click the encrypt button!

Thanks to @nlnet for the funding!

I got the shirt from #tidelift for raising the security of several software packages for #Python and #icalendar. This, #rfc5545 is used in so many places to exchange calendar events freely.

You can directly support my work, too: https://open-web-calendar.quelltext.eu/contributing/

#OpenWebCalendar #RecurringIcalEvents
#XWRTimezone

I completed all the tests to #Tidelift the #opensource #python #package x-wr-timezone.

Tidelift helps your company to secure the supply chain for the free software dependencies of your solutions. It is worth checking out if you care about #foss #sustainability.

I just installed #UptimeKuma

https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma

It was relatively easy to get notifications to #signal and #telegram to tell me if my #website and #webservice is running.

You can pull the container with #docker and #docker_compose.

The reason is that #uptimerobot is switching to a paid plan for commercial services.

Within an few minutes, I also added a #status #page for the #OpenWebCalendar: https://kuma.hosted.quelltext.eu/status/open-web-calendar

#icalendar #OpenWebCalendar #icsquery and many other #Python libraries are participating this #October in the @hacktoberfest!

Whether you are new to #opensource or know it for a while: You can contribute to a lot of projects on #GitHub and #GitLab. Join us!

We have released a new version of #RecurringIcalEvents - event times calculation for #icalendar in #Python. This release includes the rare case of rescheduling all future events as well as being able to edit the content of all future events. In the specification it is RANGE=THISANDFUTURE.

A new release of the #OpenWebCalendar will support this. If you would like to help us, if you have #LotusNotes installed, look here: https://github.com/niccokunzmann/python-recurring-ical-events/issues/184

I am planning to go to the
OpenUK Apprentice Meetup #2
https://www.meetup.com/openuk/events/303211454

#opensource
@openuk

I can offer a #talk or #workshop on these topics if you wish:
- #icalendar #ics
- #OpenWebCalendar https://open-web-calendar.quelltext.eu/
- also on the #fdroid ecosystem
- #python #packaging
- and last but not least an intro to #foss #licensing
- #docker intro
- #git & #github

Let me know if some of that is of interest!

What is in .ics files? These calendar files can now be inspected with a new command line tool: ics-query

https://pypi.org/project/ics-query/

Due to the power of #OpenSource, this tool was easy to create and has a high quality and compatibility from the start. The calculation module python-recurring-ical-events is more than five years old and has seen many improvements and contributions since.

#icalendar #rfc5545 #ics #ical #calendar #command #bash #shell #OpenWebCalendar #foss #gpl #icsquery

The #OpenWebCalendar is now also available as a #Python package on #PyPI. This makes it easy to install!

Check out the documentation:
https://open-web-calendar.quelltext.eu/host/pypi/

#foss #pip #install #icalendar #rfc5545 #distribution

A new feature is coming to the #OpenWebCalendar: The calendar changes its language depending on who views it.

In contrast: Many web calendars only show up in one language even if you cannot read it.

The #icalendar package has released a major update to Version 6 after a long time.

Gratitudes go to @nlnet for the funding. Thanks to @plone for the #sprint.

@nlnet @NGIZero @nlnetlabs Welcome! And thanks for funding the #OpenWebCalendar
Thanks to your funding, the project now has a #documentation website in German, Spanish and English: https://open-web-calendar.quelltext.eu
🧡

#Gancio also exports the events as #ics and so one can embed and merge several timelines using the #OpenWebCalendar. https://open-web-calendar.quelltext.eu. That is how I found Gancio - https://gancio.org.

@seddon @davidoclubb I am planning to come, too. I can offer to talk about FOSS-development, the #OpenWebCalendar, #fdroid and its ecosystem, translating FOSS software to #Welsh and more.

We also have a #matrix chat if you like to join: #foss-wales:matrix.org

Working on the #OpenWebCalendar project is spanning different challenges: How to host a free service? How to notify people about the move to self-hosting now that #Heroku shut down free hosting if you do not collect their data? How to ask for contribution while preserving software #freedom.

The project merges different #ICS calendars into a customizable viewer for websites.
