Hi Racket has many events, both virtual and in-person. You can now subscribe to the Racket meet-ups calendar to see upcoming events including Rhombus, Qi, Racket, RacketCon and RacketFest. [https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/a6a7g9sg739gjfeak6ilkh8fdc%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/a6a7g9sg739gjfeak6ilkh8fdc%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics) Events are also normally announced here on the Racket Discourse with the #meet-up tag: [https://racket.discourse.group/tag/meet-up](https://racket.discourse.group/tag/meet-up) RSS: [https://racket.discourse.group/tag/meet-up.rss](https://racket.discourse.group/tag/meet-up.rss) Edit: google calendar share link - [https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=YTZhN2c5c2c3MzlnamZlYWs2aWxraDhmZGNAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=YTZhN2c5c2c3MzlnamZlYWs2aWxraDhmZGNAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ) Best regards, Stephen :beetle: [![Racket Discourse](https://img.shields.io/discourse/users?label=Discuss%20on%20Racket%20Discourse&logo=racket&server=https%3A%2F%2Fracket.discourse.group)](https://racket.discourse.group/) [![Racket Discord](https://img.shields.io/discord/571040468092321801?label=Chat%20on%20Racket%20Discord&logo=racket)](https://discord.gg/6Zq8sH5) ---

I don't know if this is true for others, but when I click the ICS link I get a file of events I can add to my calendar. It's not clear that I've subscribed to the calendar and will get updates; in fact, I think it's just a static list of events I've added. Is there a way to share the Google Calendar so that I can get updates? ---

It depends on your calendar software I suppose, but I believe most support some way of "subscribing" to an .ics-based calendar hosted at some URL. Your calendar software / service then periodically retrieves the .ics file to update its view of events. You can use the following link to view the calendar in your browser: [Racket meet-ups](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=a6a7g9sg739gjfeak6ilkh8fdc%40group.calendar.google.com) If Google Calendar is the calendar service you use yourself, then the "+" button at the bottom-right of the viewable calendar I just linked to may be the simplest way to add it to your personal list of calendars. ---

Google calendar did provide another link, but I assumed it was for google calendar users only? It might be worth trying [https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=YTZhN2c5c2c3MzlnamZlYWs2aWxraDhmZGNAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=YTZhN2c5c2c3MzlnamZlYWs2aWxraDhmZGNAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/2X/d/dd880ebaabb1c05b3a642d408bbad510a5722a27.png) ---

The calendar is intended to make it easy to know when Racket related events are happening. With that in mind it needs occasional maintenance and review to ensure it is working as intended. I believe the calendar is configured correctly but need you to tell me it is working We have three recurring events: 1. [Monthly Racket meet-up](https://racket.discourse.group/tag/meet-up) 2. [Bi-weekly Rhombus meet-up](https://github.com/racket/rhombus/discussions/180) 3. [Weekly Qi meet-up](https://racket.discourse.group/t/todays-qi-meeting-notes/2323/1) | Event | Schedule | Next | link | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Racket meet-up](https://racket.discourse.group/tag/meet-up) | First Saturday of the month 18:00 UTC | 2025-02-01T18:00:00Z | [https://meet.jit.si/Racketmeet-up](https://meet.jit.si/Racketmeet-up) | | [Rhombus meet-up](https://github.com/racket/rhombus/discussions/180) | Every 2 weeks on Thursday (6pm Mountain Time) | 2025-01-24T02:00:00Z | [https://utah.zoom.us/j/96590513005](https://utah.zoom.us/j/96590513005) | | [Qi meet-up](https://racket.discourse.group/t/todays-qi-meeting-notes/2323/1) | Weekly 1800 UTC | 2025-01-24T18:00:00Z | [https://app.gather.town/app/wH1EDG3McffLjrs0/racket-users](https://app.gather.town/app/wH1EDG3McffLjrs0/racket-users) | | | | | | (I'm hoping discourse displays the 'Next' event time correctly) The calendar currently uses google calendar - I believe it meets the minimal requirements of being relatively accessible, not requiring a google profile/login, and works with the calendars that people use. If there are better options I'd like to know? (e.g. should we be publishing an 'official' feed at [https://racket-lang.org/events](https://racket-lang.org/events) ? ) * * * # calendar links 1.
