Subscribing to LF AI Group Calendars

You can directly subscribe to a Group Calendar to stay in sync with meetings and events

NOTE: When you receive a meeting invite in your inbox for a meeting scheduled within Groups.io (example TAC meeting invite available here) you have the option to directly add the meeting (.ics file) to your calendar tool. However, the only sure way to ensure that your calendar stays in sync with a Group Calendar is to subscribe. DO NOT RELY ON A .ics FILE in any Groups.io meeting invite as: 1) An ics file creates a static snapshot of the meeting at that point in time. 2) Updates and cancellations do not get propagated via this method. 3) You are guaranteed to have issues with seasonal time changes.

Option 1) Subscribe to an INDIVIDUAL sub-group(mail list) calendar 

• Login to Groups.io for the specific LF AI sub-group (mail list) list you are interested in (ex. tac-general@lists...)

• Click the "Your Calendar" icon on the left 

• Scroll to the bottom of the page

• Click the "Subscribe to Calendar" button

• Copy the url that is generated
• Paste the url using whatever method your calendar reader uses for internet calendar subscriptions

Option 2) Subscribe to ALL of the Groups.io sub-group(mail list) calendars you are a member of at once

• Login to Groups.io for any LF AI sub-group(mail list)

• Click the "LF AI Foundation" at the top left of the page

• Click the "Your Calendar" icon on the left 

• Scroll to the bottom of the page

• Click the "Subscribe to Calendar" button
