The Problem

There are many people, as me, that sometimes got much manage, and busy working in multiple timezones,
that we forget / simply do not add events to our electronic calendars manually, like apple calendar or google calendars.

That is the reason, why many people, including me, sadly do not attend to brilliant X-Teams events,
or in general miss out on valuable IOTA related events.

The Deployment

@huhn511 ~ what about some .md with dates, that would be picked up and piped thru some of your epic GitHub actions / workflows, and simply utilize something like this candy here, to autogenerate those wonderful, powerful and useful buttons, and getting autodeployed to the related gh-pages, as usual.

Why it simply makes sense

I am confident enough to say, that having those timesaving links, to instantly import incoming events, on each X-Teams website | @vromvonbeyond's event collection, included under some events tab in the main-navbar, for sure will increase the conversion rate of people joining and participating to events significantly.

~ With my previous experience in marketing + my OWN usage habit ~ i really want to see this proposal online ~
Every time i get happy that some website implemented those calendar URIs ~ I am ALWAYS using them to add events EASILY into my personal calendar ~ automatically in the correct timezone ~ so i can avoid annoying timezone calculations or mistakes.


One quick example to visualize the simplicity:

https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/calendar-link

// Usage with Node.js
const { google, outlook, office365, yahoo, ics } = require("calendar-link");

// Usage with TypeScript or ES6
import { google, outlook, office365, yahoo, ics } from "calendar-link";

// Set event as an object
const event = {
  title: "My birthday party",
  description: "Be there!",
  start: "2019-12-29 18:00:00 +0100",
  duration: [3, "hour"],
};

// Then fetch the link
google(event); // https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render...
outlook(event); // https://outlook.live.com/owa/...
office365(event); // https://outlook.office.com/owa/...
yahoo(event); // https://calendar.yahoo.com/?v=60&title=...
ics(event); // standard ICS file based on https://icalendar.org

~ Let me know what you guys think about that, feedback would be great.
If there is some better place / repo to fire this issue / proposal - let me know and ill move it there ~

I love this, how would it be possible to integrate such functionality in a page like http://iotaexperience.team/ ?
Is there an easy to integrate calendar?
