👉 SmartCalendar (TypeScript/JavaScript, React, WebDav, Jest, web scraping)
by Ethan Strominger

View on GitHub.

Aggregates events from web calendars, CSV files, google sheets, web scraping, and other sources to create a single calendar that is subscribable through one URL. You will be able to display the aggregated calendar in your favorite calendar application either alongside your other calendar(s) or by itself and filter by multiple criteria including day of the week, time, tags, keywords, and if you have reviewed the event. The repository is here: https://github.com/ethanstrominger/calendargroup.
ide afterward if you later want to host sessions regularly.

About the meetup:
👩👨👩👨
Software development is a team sport and ensemble-programming a.k.a. mob-programming can be one way to improve team collaboration and reduce waste.

"How can we work together as a team without waiting, distraction, interruption, or multitasking?"
-- Woody Zuill, the discoverer of ensemble-programming

➡️ Join the event and help us creating a ensemble-programming community.

✅ Everybody is welcome, no matter if you tried ensemble-programming before or are curious to try it for the first time. Also, it doesn't matter if you are already programming for decades or just getting started. Understanding the basic principles of any programming language will be enough. Usually, there is a good mixture of experience levels in each ensemble.

🧪 Our idea is to work on real projects, but we still want to mainly focus on ensemble-programming and the team process. The actual contribution (Pull-Request) to a project is a secondary goal. Although we still think the chances of submitting a PR are good, the limited time of the event might impose a risk of finishing up with a PR only partially ready. Which is okay as long as we are having fun and learn something on the way 😃
