Add Events Calendar for 2021 in our GitHub Organisation

[vinzvinci]

I think its cool if we have Events Calendar for this 2021 in our GitHub Organization. Everyone can add events if they want to share, for example hacktoberfest, other virtual events and etc. :)

What do you think?

[eddiejaoude]

This is a great idea 👍 - we could start off simple with a markdown file? Could we add it to an existing repo or is a new repo needed? What does everyone think?

[eddiejaoude]

I pinned this to the discussion section

[Vyvy-vi]

I think we could use this repo(a new file called CALENDAR.md perhaps?)
We could make some neat markdown/html tables for each month

[Vyvy-vi]

OR we could also use this discussion to hold the calendar, but IMHO that might lead to issues, since maybe someone mis-interprets those due to a comment or something

[eddiejaoude]

I suppose the history in the file will get big 🤔 . Could we use 1 discussion per month and people can add threads for each event? Not sure if a good idea or not, just throwing it out there 🤓

Why don't we create a GitHub pages site for this?

[vinzvinci]

I agree with markdown and GitHub pages.

[Vyvy-vi]

yes, that would be good 👍

[eddiejaoude]

Yep, markdown and GitHub pages 👍

How about a GitHub Actions integrated here?

[eddiejaoude]

Also might be good to add TwitterSpaces events to this list too (maybe with a type)

My words are to make a google calendar add it to our support repo, it will allow us a ton of new features like google will notify people for every upcoming events, things like twitter spaces need to be edited frequently and google will help us in that too

[Vyvy-vi]

We could do that, tho then only Eddie could add events == too much work for Eddie. Perhaps we could make a GitHub action, that can also read events and time from a file, and adds it to the calendar whenever a PR is made to alter that file

My suggestion:

https://demo.vercel.events/

Update:

We will use the same tool we used to build the website (Kartra, low code solution), so it integrates with the rest of our tools.
