Proposed change to rendering of release schedule ics file

[Ben Cotton]

Hi everyone,

I want to get feedback before I make a change to how Fedora Linux
schedules are generated. As reported in schedule#91[1], the current
ics files include very long tasks that aren't particularly useful. I
have a plan for how to address that, but first I want to check that it
won't impact how people currently use the ics files.

If you're using the Fedora Linux schedule ics files, please see the
details in the Pagure issue[2]. If this will affect how you or your
team use those files, comment in the issue before 13 February. Note
that this will not change how the html or json versions are produced.

Hey Ben,

we're parsing the ics files for schedule progress at the packager
dashboard. However, I won't have access to my laptop (and the internet most
of the time) before February 15th.

Can you please postpone the change for a week?

Thanks a lot!

Sure, no problem. I was under the assumption that the packager
dashboard parsed the json file and not the ics file, so this change
may be more impactful than I thought. But I'll wait until you've had a
chance to look.
