[IAEP] Events calendar

[Walter Bender]

David Farning, Marco Gritti, and you are also able to add to the
Google Calendar. If someone knows how to make it world-writable,
please let me know. In the meantime, please send me requests to join
the calendar (I can add people by hand) or send events you'd like
posted.

I am all in favor of a wiki event calendar, but the advantage of the
Google system is that it is available in iCal, XML, and HTML streams.
Maybe we need both. Certainly we need a better description in the OLPC
wiki about process.
