BCS & CVS Events Calendars

The old BCS events server/calendar has been replaced with a new calendaring system, which provides separate events calendars for both BCS and CVS. It's located at either http://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu or http://calendar.cvs.rochester.edu (two names for the same server).

Anybody who was receiving BCS event reminders via e-mail from the old system has automatically been added to the new system. Reminders are sent out upon event creation, modification, deletion, and both 1 and 3 days before the event takes place.

People receiving reminders of CVS events via e-mail will continue to receive them via the new calendar server. Reminders will be sent out at the same intervals as the BCS event reminders.

The calendars offer an RSS feed, so you can add them to your web browser and have event info appear there. An RSS icon appears in the top left corner of each calendar...when you click on it, your web browser should give you the option of adding the feed to your bookmarks. If it doesn't, here are the direct links:

BCS calendar - feed://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu/rssxmllink?calendar=bcs_events

CVS calendar - feed://calendar.cvs.rochester.edu/rssxmllink?calendar=cvs_events

You can also subscribe to the event calendar(s) from within Apple iCal and have the events automatically download into your Apple calendar. To do so, go to the menu bar within Apple iCal and click on "Calendar", then "Subscribe", and enter the desired URL(s):

BCS calendar - http://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu/icalsubscribe/bcs_events

CVS calendar - http://calendar.cvs.rochester.edu/icalsubscribe/cvs_events

The calendar(s) should then appear in the window on the left, and the events in the calendar itself.

You should also be able to subscribe to the calendars from Google Calendar, but I do not have instructions for doing so right now.
