Towards a Swiss usability calendar
There are more and more groups in Switzerland, which are interested in usability. They all organize events, so I thought it would be a good idea to aggregate all these events in one calendar. I chose Google Calendar to do so.
Currently the following groups are aggregated in the calendar:
- Usabilitynet.ch, GoogleCal (Software Ergonomics / SwissCHI)
- Ux Book Club Switzerland, GoogleCal
- Ux Chuchi, GoogleCal
- Usability Events Switzerland, GoogleCal (General events)
In the right sidebar you can see the calendar. To spread the word about interesting usability events, you can embed the calendar in your own website, by adding the following code:
<!— Swiss Usability Calendar Google Calender START —>
<iframe src=”http://andreasbossard.com/SwissUsabilityCalendar/index.php” style=” border-width:0 ” width=”100%” height=”250” frameborder=”0” scrolling=”no”></iframe>
<!— Swiss Usability Calendar Google Calendar END —>
If more Google Calendars are added to the Swiss Usability Calendar I will update the .php-file and your embedded Calendar will automatically be updated.
Of course you can also embed the Calendars manually with the original code:
<!— Swiss Usability Calendar Google Calender START —>
<iframe src=”http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?title=Swiss%20Usability%20Calendar&showNav=0&showDate=0&showPrint=0&showTabs=0&showCalendars=0&showTz=0&mode=AGENDA&height=250&wkst=2&hl=en&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=1fvisa2ugdrcc8mbgrv5ncttd8%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%230D7813&src=2tde98n6ainill3du033kju690%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%232952A3&src=sca09gp04l6skq1fgn35o6278bvao8ds%40import.calendar.google.com&color=%23B1440E&src=b68iomr9fub8vimmmgb2s220u87i1q15%40import.calendar.google.com&color=%23AB8B00&ctz=Europe%2FZurich” style=” border-width:0 ” width=”100%” height=”250” frameborder=”0” scrolling=”no”></iframe>
<!— Swiss Usability Calendar Google Calendar END —>
The iframe will displays a list of the next usability events in Switzerland:
I need your help: Currently the calendars “Usability Events Switzerland” and “Usabilitynet.ch” are maintained by me. If you would like to add some calendars or add events to one of the Google Calendars, feel free to contact me.
