With the launch of NANOG 86 registration, we are making our new Appointment Tool available as a Public Beta. If you decide to use the tool, please keep in mind that it is a Beta Release.
Features that are still in development are as follows:
Ability to accept/deny within calendar modal popups
Ability to read and respond to messages from within the modal popups
Add the ability to upload a profile photo and update the attendees to show this image in small format
Redo the event attendee list in React with event creation modals (this will take a few weeks to build out - the entire attendee list has to be redone in React with pagination and sorting)
Add notification next to āMy Accountā in the main nav if there are pending invites and tie this into membership status. and not a complete tool.
Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar support.
Please provide feedback on any bugs you encounter or additional features that you would like to see.
Thank you for participating in our Public Beta Program.
@gnewman we should add a month view to the calendar to speed up reaching the proper dates of the event. Or maybe add some way to jump to the upcoming NANOG events.
@emcnair What we have to do is set the calendar to month view instead of week view to get an expanded - but for length of the event, I think a week view is sufficient and would list all appointments for the week. Is there a reason to have more than a week?
I can make appointments for whenever I want, and thereās no tie in to if I am registered for a meeting or not. ETA for lock down of appointment dates?
Need to be able to say Iām not available for appointments w/out losing access to the calendar. AKA if Iāve got enough appointments, but donāt want to take more, how would I turn that off? Right now if you change to not accepting appointments, bye bye access to calendar
Time Zone needs to be prominently displayed somewhere
@emcnair Hello, sent out a few invites for nanog 86. Received a response from a partner that my meeting invite was delivered for a date not during the event.
The dates are correctly selected as 10/18 and 10/19. These appointments show correctly on the calendar, but under the āincoming invitesā and āsent invitesā tabs the appointments are listed and shown with incorrect dates (in this case 10/2).
I am very sorry about this unfortunate bug. I am reaching out to our Senior Developer @gnewman to correct that bug. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
@nlessaris thanks for reporting this bug. Iām looking into it now. Just so I understand, the calendar email are correct but the incoming and sent list a date that is off by about 16 days?
Suggestion, could you add a āShow NANOG Program Agendaā option on the calendar, so you can make sure that you donāt accidentally schedule a meeting over a talk that youāre actually interested in?
Another suggestion is to include the company name on the invitations. On my most recent invite my invite included:
Subject, Inviter Name, Note from Inviter. There was nothing about where they worked for, and I couldnāt click their name to pull up any sort of profile for them. And since they used my company name for the subject, I had no idea who they were.
I cannot accept or deny an invitation. In Chrome if I click on the invite the text inside the appoinment shows up for a split of a second and then it goes white. In Firefox it open and closes itself everytime so Iām unable to use that tool.
