Switching the PostgreSQL Conference Calendar Location

Currently Calendar Location

So far the conference calendars in https://proopensource.it/conference-calendar/ have been stored in Google Calendar.

As that is a foreign ressource, I decided to move them away from Google.

New Conference Calendar Location

ProOpenSource OÜ has a Nextcloud instance running nearly from the start of the business. And Nextcloud has a calendare extension.

I switched the private calendars away from Google quite some time ago, but the conference calendars have been a bit of work to get them running in an iframe.

Now, as it is working nicely with the embedded calendars from the ProOpenSource Nextcloud instance, the change is public from 2025-07-16 on.

You can also subscribe directly to the calendars:

End of Google Calendars

Until the end of this year, 2025, I will publish new entries on both calendars, but in 2026 I will publish new calendar entries only Nextcloud, as shown and listed in Conference Calendar.

I will also add a calendar entry on 2025-12-31 with a reminder to inform everyone who has or still is using the old Google calendars, that everyone who is still subscribed to the Google calendars will get a notification.

Alternative Calendar

For those who still want a Google calendar, there is another source available maintained by some people from the community, including me, on the PostgreSQL Person of the Week website.

There is also a difference between the calendare on PostgreSQL Person of the Week and on Conference Calendar:

Differences Between the two Calendars

The one on PostgreSQL Person of the Week is one calendar containing both, conferences and Calls for Papers of conferences (CfP).
And the one on Conference Calendar contains two calendars, one for Calls for Papers of conferences (CfP), and one for conferences.
