We have a shared Google calendar that includes birthdays and other events of interest to ORG folk. If you’d like permission to add events just ask, or make a comment below about the event you’d like us to add. The old birthdays list is still there if you can’t find someone’s birthday on the new calendar. Finding a specific birthday can be VERY easy if you add the calendar to your own Google calendar or a calendar program.
- To add it to your own Google calendar, just click the link at the bottom of the calendar.
- If you’re using iCal, Outlook, Sunbird, or another desktop calendar program just follow this calendar subscription link and follow the prompts.
Update: Jack noticed that his iCal wasn’t updating with new events. Apparently you need to tell iCal to “auto-refresh” when you subscribe. In Sunbird, just following the link above also will not auto-refresh. Instead, I had to copy the link and go to File -> Subscribe to Remote Calendar.
isaac…this sounded convoluted when i read it, but i clicked on that subscription link and it opened up my iCal. it also flowed all the org calendar info into my iCal. you SAID that in the post, but it was still a surprise when it happened! pretty cool. lisa has mentioned the google calendar…if i ever get iCal down pat, i might look into it. anyhow, this works (the BD search, etc.) and i will use it, but how do you access the old birthday list? i saw the link to it in this post, but don’t see an active link in the nav bar. i wouldn’t mind having that continue…at least for awhile till i get more accustomed to the calendar thing. l,j
