[Committee] Google Calendar: to avoid event clashes

[Steve Stretton]

Dear All,

I'm writing about the 'Zero Carbon Events' Google Calendar.

The 'Zero Carbon Events' Google Calendar is our way of ensuring that  
we give interested people advanced notice of events that we are  
planning, and ensure that our events do not clash with those of other  
societies in Cambridge. This is a public calendar which is used on our  
website [0].

You will need to sign up to a google account to use the calendar. You  
should receive an 'invitation' shortly by seperate email.

I you organise events or hear of any other events (seminars, talks,  
protests, meetings) that are related to our interests of climate  
change or energy policy, then please add them in to the calendar. In  
the calendar, there is a space for details of the event and any links  
to relevant websites.

At the same time it would be great if you could send an email out to  
calendar at zerocarbonnow.org confirming the event and what you have done.


Here is the keyy for the different types of event:

Zero Carbon Society Major Confirmed Events - capitals, e.g.: BIG EVENT
Zero Carbon Society committee meetings etc - small letters. e.g:  
Committee meeting
Zero Carbon Society semi-confirmed events etc with small letters and  
brackets if necessary, e.g Big event (venue/speaker tbc)
Other Society events with square brackets e.g.: [XYZ society] Abc talk
Major Talks/Events outside Cambridge e.g.: [London: UVW society] Efg event


Please do add events as soon as you hear of them/ have started to plan  
them, avoiding clashes with any (Cambridge events already on the  
calendar. If in doubt about scheduling please email  
calendar at zerocarbonnow.org .


Thanks very much and best regards,

Steve

P.S. Other Google stuff:

[0] We also have a private calendar 'Zero Carbon' for purely internal  
events, but this isn't being used much at present - if it gets revived  
Stephen will send out invites.

[2] If you would like google mail ('gmail' - basically, instead of  
putting messages into folders, you can tag them and then google search  
all your emails) please first let me, Jiaven or Anna know and we will  
invite you.
