At SXSW I attended a panel on microformats which are a way of embedding other formats into HTML using semantic classes.
When we first wrote Rubyholic we talked about adding iCal support, but thought it would be a big pain to implement. The hCal microformat along with Technorati’s Events Feed Service made it nearly painless, so now Rubyholic groups now have calendars!
You can subscribe to a Rubyholic calendar on any group page from the link at the bottom of the schedule. For example, here’s the calendar for the Seattle Ruby Brigade.
