Add generated ical file to TSC meeting agenda issues

[jsumners]

A quick search of the issues indicates this hasn't been suggested before. I'm not sure if GitHub even allows attaching such files, but it would be really cool if whatever is generating the TSC agenda issues, e.g. #1431, also attached an ical file with all pertinent details (particularly the public YouTube URL) for the meeting. This would allow people to easily add it to their calendar if they are interested in a specific meeting.

I've been thinking about implementing this. I'm extremely interested in this since it helps me a lot.

Just in case you haven't come across it yet, the Node.js calendar lists all meetings, including TSC meetings. For me, personally, this works well enough.

For people who want to subscribe to specific working group meetings, I couldn't find a good solution for this. It's either all-in or none.

So, I've looked into this. Github issues does not support .ics file extension. It seems the website we use to link for the datetime (example: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Node.js+Foundation+Technical%20Steering%20Committee%20(TSC)+Meeting+2023-08-30&iso=20230830T1900), has a Add to calendar button. We can add a new link to the issue to add it to calendar that directly opens this page. The code implementation exists in: https://github.com/nodejs/make-node-meeting/blob/main/make-node-meeting.sh#L89

How about a zip that extract to .ics?

People might be against downloading a zip for variety of reasons. Directly adding a link from timeanddate.com might be a lot faster to implement.

[jsumners]

But that link will not include all of the details for attending, correct? That's just the time and date, yest?

There has not been any discussion or volunteers to move this forward for over a year. Are there any objections to me closing this issue?

[jsumners]

I wish it could be solved. But it seems like some level of support from @github would be needed, and I don't think that'll happen 😢

[mhdawson]

k, I'll close and please re-open if there is a path/volunteers to move forward at some point.
