Introduction
WARG requires to use of a calendar system to coordinate our many meeting times, locations, and descriptions for easy access of all members. This document covers our current calendar system and it’s use case.
Access
Live Link: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=dXcud2FyZ0BnbWFpbC5jb20
The live link provides access to the calendar. You will need to sign into a google account (it does not need to be the WARG google account, Google Drive ) to use this link though once you’ve used it you should be able to see the WARG google calendar from your account easily at any time.
...
ICS Link: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/uw.warg@gmail.com/public/basic.ics
If you do not wish to sign in to a google account, the current state of the calendar can be downloaded using the ICS link as a ics file which can be opened with
...
any modern calendar programs.
To be clear, the Google Calendar is accessible to the public. Consequently, keep it formal!
Maintaining
Members
Anyone from their personal google accounts can invite the WARG google account calendar to an event. If you are a member (defined by Member Definition ) then this is the recommended path for adding your event to the google calendar. Please ask a lead to login to the google account and accept the event so it is marked as official.
...
If you’re a lead (defined by leadership team approval, completion of Lead Onboarding Process, being listed in Leads Lead List , & meeting Member Definition ) then you are able to sign into the WARG google drive ( Google Drive ) and add to the calendar yourself. WARG leads are also responsible for “accepting” or “denying” calendar events that are added to by outside emails.
...
Subteam leads are expected to at least maintain their subteam meetings in the calendar system for improved visibility for members. Directors are expected to do the same for meetings relevant to the entire team, including but not limited to leads meeting and general meeting. Directors or Operations will be responsible for maintainning other events in the calendar. We recommend that if a meeting has meeting minutes ( Meeting Minutes ) that a link to those meeting minutes is placed in the description of the event for improved accessibility though this is not required.
Use Case
The google calendar should contain all WARG events that have been officially scheduled and are not subject to change. If an event is tentative it should be clearly labelled as such, otherwise it is assumed official.
...
Please use the description to link to meeting minutes documents if applicable as well as any notes specific to the meeting. This may include who is hosting the meeting and/or who is invited though this information is optional.
Formality
To be clear, the Google Calendar is accessible to the public and shared with professional acquaintances of WARG. Consequently, keep it formal!
