The first of the new CA features to be rolled out: a Canadian Atheist calendar.
The URL is https://www.canadianatheist.com/calendar.ics, but if you just try to click it, depending on your browser configuration it might try to open a calendar application or download it. You’ll probably want to open it in a calendar application. (Note that you may have to specify that it is a read-only calendar – you can’t add or change events.) You can subscribe to it (you won’t need to set the update frequency to more than once a week) and it will automatically be updated as new events get added.
Right now the calendar only has a handful of special days (World Humanist Day, HumanLight, Blasphemy Day, etc.) and a couple of events (the upcoming Supreme Court hearing of the TWU case). These were just added as proof-of-concept test cases. The intention is to add more events and dates of interest, including things like conferences and so on.
The calendar is very experimental. I wrote all the software to generate it from scratch, so it’s pretty much inevitable that there are going to be a few bugs at first.
The calendar location is definitely going to change at some point, if only because of our eventual move to HTTPS. When that happens I might try to put a redirect in so it keeps working. On the other hand, I might break the calendar into parts instead: one for special dates (“atheist holidays”, if you will) and one for events (conferences and stuff). If anything changes, I’ll make a post about it.
Go ahead and give it a try. If you see any problems, let me know via a comment or the contact form.
