Greetings Commanders!
I'm happy to announce that the Community Event Calendar is now live and awaiting your event submissions:
https://www.elitedangerous.com/community/events
We're excited to see how you as a community use this tool, and I'm looking forward to hearing feedback on how we can potentially develop this further, if it proves useful to players. The calendar is currently set up to accept a range of event types, from races to mining meetups. At the moment, events can't last for months at a time - this is something we've already noted for a potential phase 2 of the calendar, but for now, if you're running an expedition, I suggest entering the dates for your event as a 'starting period' or 'sign up' period, and you're welcome to put the full date range in the description.
All events submitted into the calendar will be subject to approval, which may take a few days, so make sure to get your event in well ahead of time. There will also be a set of FAQ's to answer anything that you may be thinking of on the page, but if you have a question that's not covered there, please let me know.
The calendar also has some functionality to add an event to your personal calendar, so that you don't forget about your upcoming activity!
I'll be monitoring the calendar activity and questions around it closely over the next few weeks, so I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback.
