   To all: as background to Christopher's note, the UCB Events
Calendar <http://events.berkeley.edu>, managed by Sara Leavitt, Jeff
Kahn, et al. in Public Affairs, now provides RSS, XML (in the UCB
Events schema), and iCalendar feeds of campus events.

   Documentation for these feeds is at:

   http://events.berkeley.edu/documentation/user/rss.html

   At the most recent UC-wide computing service conference (UCCSC)
this summer, reps from at least two other UC campuses mentioned
similar "event kiosks" in their campus reports. A podcast of all of
these reports is available at:

   http://webcast.ucsc.edu/uccsc/Campus_Reports_UCCSC_2007.mp3

   In addition to or in lieu of listening to the entire podcast,
however ;-), I'll look for any notes that identify the campus reps
who discussed this and send this to you under separate cover (e.g.
off-list) within the next couple of days.
