Respectful sugg to the MGMT: Google Calendar for schedule?

In past years, I've used Google Spreadsheets to create a Rally schedule so that I could see what was happening at any one time (times running down the left, rooms running across the top) -- making it waaaay easier to figure out which event to attend, because they're all right there together.

It's occurred to me that Google Calendar would probably work even better -- especially the Day, 4-Day and Agenda views.

Then it occurred to me... gee, what if the good folks at TAXI used G-Calendar for their scheduling work and shared the calendar? Instead of a bunch of us recreating it, there it would be, in glowing Google goodness for all to enjoy.

So... just putting that out there. With lots of love. And Monster energy drinks, and whatever the guava stuff was that Michael really likes.

CK, I believe I just saw somewhere the other day where Taxi was seeking a volunteer to do just that. If I was better organized, I might could remember where I saw or heard that,lol!! Was it guava or guano, maybe I'm thinking Guano Islands or Guam.

Well, in all seriousness, my intent was that if the Taxi staff used Google calendar as their planning tool from the outset, by the time they had the schedule set, there it would be -- done and shareable.

The whole point would be to avoid duplication of effort -- which is what has been happening already.
