Okay.  My short term solution idea was to stop using occupy and shift requests directly to the calendar (then we'd have one calendar). I was gonna ask a few key people like Jenny and Yar if there was a good reason not to do this... Will try to work on this in the next few weeks unless folks think it's a bad idea.

Looking forward to the long term too though!
I was gonna call a a few places like La Peña to see what they use for the SMS purpose to see if we could crowd source the most useful one. And Jenny's consultation sounds like a good start too.

sorry for the multiple messages -

In my research, this was the best system I could find: http://www.eventpro.net

but hadn't requested a quote since we've been running in the red since late 2015. i just requested a consultation, will let commons wg know how it goes.

Also, just out of curiosity - does Steven of The East, and the other(s) part of this group, contribute monetary donations to BAPS or otherwise put in some volunteer time cleaning/maintaining/improving the Disco Room in exchange for 2+ years of free space?

i agree! we *do* need a better system, and i say, go for it, steve & robb:
- build it / find it
- test it
- deploy it
- switch everything over from the old cal (first archive it plz)
- train the commons wg on how to use it
- maintain it

here, i even made a blueprint of what we need, about two years ago, after trying many things that did not work: https://github.com/sudoroom/omni-booking

(and yes, i've tried getting wizards of sudoroom to help, but it's a big undertaking)

conflicts will happen. if we had higher attendance at commons wg meetings and more people to help track the dozens of events that happen on the monthly in the commons, they would happen less often.

but, tbh, they don't happen often (thank you julio! <3)

Hi, Julio, and all,

Is there any way that we can consolidate calendars, and at least reduce it to two? I made sure that "The East" was on both BAPS and Omni general calendar, and hoped that would be enough to prevent booking conflicts. It would be nice of booking conflicts didn't happen. Would it be possible to break our calendaring down to just those two?

Hey Steven,

We didn't see the clash because we have many calendaring systems...
Today, you can use the ballroom after 4pm when the Bahiya dance rehearsals are done.

The Holistic Clinic is second Saturdays.

Thanks.
Julio

Hey Omni,


I just noticed there's a healing group doubled booked in the Disco Rm during the same time as The East. Just confirming that The East is still in the Disco Room today 2/11 from 4-6pm? If we're not in the Disco Room I was wondering if we can use the Ballroom?


Also, according to the calendar there's a dance group using the Disco Room at the same time through March. I like to confirm that we're still able to use the Disco room. Thanks!!!!!!!


Steven
