List next meetings for my groups

[LeifW]

Given that I'm listed as a member of various groups on ePDX, could/should ePDX link in to Calagator to show the next listed meetings for groups I'm a member of?

Yes!

We added ePDX machine tags to Calagator and I just rolled out a Calagator update to support this.

Brain dump of current thoughts towards this goal:

• Calagator supports machine tags for ePDX, which link back to the referenced entity. This machine tag currently takes the form epdx:group=1 and will take the form epdx:group=pdxruby after work to give things prettier urls is done.
• Show a list of upcoming events on the ePDX group page, based on the machine tag. To avoid having to manager server-side updating and caching of this, do this client-side using Calagator's jsonp output.
• Add a button to the ePDX group page, "Add a Calagator event for this group" which will link the user to the Calagator new event form pre-populated with the group machine tag and all tags of the group. Support for this is already in Calagator (e.g. http://calagator.org/events/new?event[tag_list]=epdx:group=1,%20ruby )
• Add support to Calagator to pull group details from ePDX and display those details on machine-tagged event pages. Possibly also include a similar "Create a new event for this group" link within Calagator.
