That sounds like a good goal. But $25,000 is no small amount for us. That's 500 people giving $50 each. We have a long way to go to get that many people on RPF's to be willing to give that much.Originally Posted by TCE
We can start with smaller goals and then work our way up. That's a couple of moneybombs. Starting with something like 100 people giving $17.76 or something like that would be better and then work our way up to a huge moneybomb. Gunny is still well under $10,000, which is unfortunate for a member of our own forums.
Hey Glenn--can you post a timeline of the milestones in your campaign, including things like planned money bombs and any deadlines? Doesn't have to be anything fancy...

On that point, I have been curious for a long while as to whether this will work. I spent a bit too much of my own money for a server in order to serve a calendar out of my own living room.
Give this link a try and tell me if it works -- it should open up in Outlook, Outlook Express, iCal, or any calendar program that accepts an .ics format.

That is my public calendar, accessible from most "standard" desktop calendar programs. It is updated live. Nobody has told me that they cannot access it, but then nobody (outside my core group of local volunteers) has told me that they can, either.
So it would be GREAT to learn whether or not you guys can access it. It's being served out of my home. Once I get my mail-hops set up, it should even be able to receive and respond to RSVP's etc...

It'll require copy/paste since it is not recognized as a standard link.

Hmm...didn't work for me on this computer (it tried to open as a windows calendar, and stated that it was unable to import.) Perhaps I just need to download a program.

Hm. That's the issue I ran into when trying to import to Google Calendar, it seemed to be caused by a specific version of Outlook import agent that does not recognize the latest .ics standard.
I can export to a file also, but that is (as far as I know) going to have the same import issues as the server link. However, let me put it up on a host and give it a shot...
it's 4.5 mb but here is the standard export file. it may work where the server link did not...

it tried to open in outlook and then said "not a valid file"
the 2nd link worked
So the static export calendar link works, but apparently you either need MacOS or Windows 7 Calendar for the live server version to work...better than nothing at least. In the future I'll host the static calendar on my home server so I don't chew up my campaign site bandwidth.

Yeah...still didn't work for me.So the static export calendar link works, but apparently you either need MacOS or Windows 7 Calendar for the live server version to work...
I just subscribed to your mailing list instead.

I just imported the static version to Google Calendar:

That worked for me! Thanks.
You can also make your Google calendar visible to those with Gmail, if I recall correctly.

I made it "public" so anybody with a link should be able to see it. The links for these calendars are a bit convoluted though. It's a shame the server link isn't working for most -- as the live update and RSVP functions are really nice.
I am now working on my calendar server to shoot a notification e-mail to the listserv mailing list prior to events, I'm just trying to decide whether 48hr or72 hr is better. I'm thinking 72hr
