Calendar

Calendar is the one diary: meetings, tasks and events projected onto a single grid, shown on the clock of whoever is reading it.

Before you start

  • Nothing of its own — Calendar shows what the other modules put there.

What Calendar does

One diary for the meetings, the tasks and the events.

01

Read meetings, tasks and events together

The value is the projection. Three separate calendars is how a person double-books themselves between a meeting and a deadline.

02

Understand how times are held

Meetings are held in UTC with the booked timezone recorded, so the instant is unambiguous and the original intent is not lost.

03

Read it from anywhere

Entries are shown on the reader’s own clock. A colleague in another country sees the same meeting at their own local time, without either of you converting.

Worth knowing

  • A task is due on a day; a meeting happens at an instant. They sit on the same grid but they do not mean the same kind of time, and that is intentional.

What it claims to do

The capability list this guide is written against, unabridged. Nothing above adds to it.

Where it connects

The modules Calendar hands work to, or takes it from. Most problems that look like one module are a handover between two.
