Managing holidays?
How do I setup holidays / global fixed invitations?
We're currently running cs 5.1.1 and given the lack of support for holiday management I'm now facing the task of figuring out how to best represent holidays in the calendar server.
Ideally we want the holidays to count in availability calculations to avoid people scheduling events on those days.
I need this done with a minimum of fuss which means preferably our users should not have to do anything.
I've come up with a few options:
1. A global holiday user which invites *all* users on holidays
This means all users have to accept the invitations from the holiday user. I'd like to avoid that.
2. A set of WCAP commands that creates all the necessary events which is run on each users calendar.
3. An 'admin' user who has rights to schedule events in *all* users calendars.
4. Importing a iCal file with the holiday events into each users calender.
5. A global holiday user which people can invite to check availability when scheduling events.
Option 5 looks the most promising but people must still remember to add the holiday user to the invitee list.
Does anyone have any better ideas?
