A system of shared calendars is in place for the minos group. This makes use of Mozilla's Calendar or iCal on Mac OS X for the client (others may also work) and WebDav publishing to serve shared calendars.
One can "subscribe" to a calendar in a read-only fashion or, in addition, subscribe such that one can update the calendar (aka "publish the calendar").
To publish a calendar one sets the "Location" of the calendar to be something like:
http://minos.phy.bnl.gov/webdav/<username>/<calendar-name>.ics
Note that on Mozilla Calendar this info should be in the second, remote "Location:" field. You should use your normal system username and password. The naming convention is to use calendar.ics for your public calendar and anything else for any private calendars.
You can put any number of calendars here so that you can update and see them from home or when traveling. No one else can access these calendars w/out your password. Since you use your system password, don't access these calendars from untrusted clients. If you want to view a calendar with out giving the password see next.
To make your public calendar accessible read-only to others do:
ln -s /var/www/webdav/<username>/calendar.ics ~/public_html
It will then be available at
http://minos.phy.bnl.gov/~<username>/calendar.ics
A calendar to hold MINOS related events has been set up. This includes both local BNL and wider events. Anyone with the minos password can edit this. BNL MINOS people should feel free to keep it up to date.
The read-only location is:
http://minos.phy.bnl.gov/~minos/calendar.ics
The read-write location is:
http://minos.phy.bnl.gov/webdav/minos/calendar.ics
