DID WG is using the W3C Calendar system

Greetings DID WG,

We wanted to let you know that we have added the DID WG weekly calls to the
W3C Calendar. For now, we plan to continue sending out the agenda emails
the group is currently accustomed to.


Below are some directions from Ivan about how to make use of the W3C
Calendar:

You can all get to your calendar items via your W3C User profile. The
profile can be accessed via the URL:
https://www.w3.org/users/myprofile/

which will automatically redirect you to

https://www.w3.org/users/YOURID

There is a entry on the left column leading to 'your' entries; you can also
get to it directly via

https://www.w3.org/users/myprofile/calendar

This page lists all the calendar entries that are relevant to you, through
all the various groups where you participate at W3C (and which use the
system).

Some facts that are worth remembering

- If you click on the 'Export' button on your calendar page you have the
choice of either downloading an ICS file for your calendar or subscribe to
it via a personal, private link. I think the second option is really useful
in case you use your own calendar systems like google, apple, or outlook:
by setting to an automatic refresh the W3C calendar entries would
automatically appear on your calendar, you do not have to do anything.
(This is the approach I have taken).

- Each event entry has a tab for "More information", that includes the
pointer to get to the zoom call and other possible information

-  By default, the page gives you the future meetings. There is a "View
past events" tab, through which you can easily get to the minutes of, say,
the previous meeting

- Everyone gets notifications when a new entry is created. One is the
general notification for the WG as a whole, and the other is sent directly
to you. If you look at the details you will realize that the latter also
has the dial-in (ie, Zoom) information, whereas the former does not. This
is intentional, because the Zoom data is confidential. There is a
"Preferences" tab on your calendar page which (at least for now) has one
option, namely whether you want the group information in general or not.

This is all a bit new to all of us, but we hope that, in the long term,
this will be useful for all group participants.
