Re: Calendar Reminders
Hi Gents:
I'm going to start posting these reminders in individual topics 1) to permit some more easily followed event specific discussion and 2) to keep the most current events near the top of the list.
I am simply doing a copy / paste of what Google Calendar emails to me .. I think the same info is on the calendar page. My thinking is that most of you do like I do ... Forum / View New Posts so this will ensure that everyone has adequate reminders.
Events are added to the calendar with e-mail reminders for 10 days (at least when I add them) so that should give plenty of warning to those interested in participating. I also try to add both the deadline and comp days so that there are reminders for both. I know that 10 days isn't enough for brewing time but it certainly should be for bottling and getting entries in.
Do we want to set up reminders for brewing (e.g. 60 or 90 days out)? Not everyone is as organized about comps as BrewMasterBrad so would this be useful and get more brewers to compete? Is posting in the forums about the event the preferred method for notification or would e-mail be better (not sure I can get e-mails to work but will look if there is enough interest).
Maltbarley: BackhouseBrew: LexusChris: Nevery: You guys all have calendar access (via club position or as a volunteer) ... are you getting the reminder e-mails or is it just CompCalendar@BrewCommune.com?

Re: Calendar Reminders
I am not getting any reminders. This is the first I've heard about most of these.
Honestly, I don't use gmail, google+ or google calander all that often... perhaps I am missing out on some easy ways to keep all this together. Right now, if feels like 'yet another website I need to remember to log into occasionally'.
Perhaps I just need to logon to the calander and setup email notifies?? Suggestions?

Re: Calendar Reminders
No reminders here.
I still haven't been able to log into the calendar.
What is the user name I need to log in?

Re: Calendar Reminders
Chris and Don: I believe that we set you up to login to Google Calendar with your BC e-mail address ... e.g. President at BrewCommune and VicePresident at BrewCommune. The idea was the the VP could / should / would post club based events (like meetings) and the Pres would be the backup. I think that Maltbarley also has those privileges but I volunteered to help him with comps as a condition of his taking the Style Guru post last year.
I will head over and look to see if there is some way to get e-mails sent AND see if there is some way for you to reset your passwords. No big deal though as I will post the reminder e-mails to the forum .... that is probably the easiest reminder method for most BC'ers anyway.
I recall that we tried to get e-mail reminders going via Google Calendar for my RC club and wound up using Yahoo Calendar because you couldn't get there with Google (mostly because you couldn't set up a distribution list) .... but Google is much easier to embed so that is what was done here.
I've hinted to Brent that it would be very cool to automate the posting of e-mails ... but he is a busy guy. Another thought would be to see if there is someway to get a full listing of events from Google Calendar and then create posts via a CRON job ... I'll pursue this with Brent when I talk with him next week.

Re: Calendar Reminders
OK ...
Chris and Don: Go try to log into Google Calendar here. Put in your BC e-mail address and Google Calendar password (if you don't remember your GC password, then click on "Can't Access your account" and follow instructions). That gets you to the calendar. I remember for sure that Chris was able to get in and I think that Don did too ... but go ahead and see if you can change an event ... just add a period or something to the description and save.
As far as notifications go, after logging in, on the left hand side there is the current month calendar and then below that, My Calendars, and then you should see Brewcommune CompCalendar. When you mouse over it there will be a pull down arrow on the right .. pull it down and select Notifications. You can even set up SMS notifications if you choose.
Let me know how it goes.

Re: Calendar Reminders
I don't get email notifications, but my phone pops up the reminders.
A cron job seems like it would be feasible, we'd just have to figure out how to make the post in the board automatically.

Re: Calendar Reminders
How are you linked to that calendar? I know that the settings are public but maybe other folks could benefit from your method!brahn wrote:I don't get email notifications, but my phone pops up the reminders.

Re: Calendar Reminders
I just subscribed to the public iCal feed. It's simple to do on the iPhone, I imagine it should be easy enough on Android too. The events just show up on my calendar with a different color.

Re: Calendar Reminders
I tried logging in with vicepresident at brewcommune.com and the password Chris gave me. It won't let me in. Never has.

Re: Calendar Reminders
OK, it worked.
There was a capital letter in the password that I wasn't doing.
Thanks
