Since:
-I can’t github.
-I’ve asked about such a feature myself.
-I could be the change I want to see.
I’m considering creating a public Google calendar with Go events and share the link publicly.
Everyone can have it in their Google calendar (I apologize in advance to people who don’t use Google products but ), but I’ll be the one editing it.
I could create a standard form so that anyone can send me a game/ event to put on the calendar.
I can update at least once daily, I’ll try to keep on top of things.
I’d have to rely on community effort to find out about those events/ games etc, since I’m not registered/ subscribed/ involved in official thingies anywhere.
Would you be interested in such a feature? (do enough people care for me to set it up?)
I want a GGbG because G.
Yes.
No.

Note: no streams etc that are mostly content, only pro games and other official events.
Google Calendar provides standard ical links for calendars, so the non-Google people should be just fine.
It can also follow an ical link, in case the future maintainer wants to edit the events in some other way. (Though last I checked it’s super slow to update.)
The link didn’t work well for me on mobile (Android). It loaded my calendar instead, in a browser window, which I had to switch to desktop view to see the option to add yours. Maybe someone knows how you make a better link?
I was thinking more of a calendar for pro events, worldwide (I hope someone can provide me the Asian titles matches, because my search is suboptimal).
I hope you don’t mind if a steal a couple of events from the link you provided .
If enough people ask for it in the future, of course I’ll consider adding events where people can play, but for now I want it focused on pro games and events. Or something really significant, like a congress.
I want to suggest to edit the first post in the thread to shift the attention from the ask to the value. I.e., embed the calendar and provide a link to the google form.
I’m thinking of adding some Asian pro games, does anyone know where I should start?
Events in calendar are permanent, so I can go back and add relays/ VOD etc as they come, even for older games.
Is there a general guideline of when matches happen, like the Olympics that are summer every 4 years (except covid) or Champions League that runs a more or less consistent season throughout the year?
I think it would have value to add events afterwards, since I would also add the sgf if I can find it. I don’t know if people would be interested though.
I mean, during the weekend someone could check and see that on Tuesday a game was played and they can see the relay on OGS.
I think it should be possible to find a lot of sgfs. Sites like go4go seem to stay regularly updated, and there’s some other sites that were suggested like
and with the European journal and smartgo (when it’s updated) I should have access to more sgfs than I will ever want to look through
), but I’ll be the one editing it.
