FYI I did not receive any notification about it moving, probably because I just added the event to my calendar using “Add to calendar” and did not RSVP. I expect more people to not know it has been moved.
Hey Lucie, thanks for letting us know! I know it’s not ideal to move the event on such short notice. However, sometimes it can happen that something comes up so that both of the organisers can’t make it, in that case we need to cancel/move the event. Luckily that does not happen too often.
I’ve changed the date here, on Meet-up and in the EA Google calendar. Is there any other place where you’d recommend posting a cancellation next time to reach more people (i.e. in the EA Telegram channel)?
Case in point, a friend was still planning to go a few hours before the event.
I think the main issue here is technological, where adding fixed events to a calendar does not allow updating it. If the calendar event could be updated to say “CANCELLED”, then it’d be very clear.
I did not know there was a shared Google Calendar. I guess this one is live updating.
Personally, I’d have seen it if it was posted in the EA Berlin Community Telegram
EDIT: my bad I had access to the calendar but had not activated it. Now I’ll see the updates!
