Context: https://fedoraproject.org/server/

Server Web Page Related: Site templates use response from the calendar API to populate page data and field location is failing to be populated

Reason: Scheduled Fedora Server Calendar Meetings are not providing 'meeting_location' info.

This comes from Fedora Websites & Apps Team related work: #Issue #22

Api query for Server Calendar:

curl "https://calendar.fedoraproject.org/api/meetings?calendar=server&start=2026-01-29&end=2026-02-18"
see attached screenshot

If this does not belong here let me know the flow to request adding the missing data in calendar API, or point me someone for direct contact.

@pboy I think this is in your wheelhouse.

I’d fix it, but I don’t have access to the admin side of the calendar system.

Status as of May 2026: The Fedora calendar system does currently not allow to specify a Matrix room as meeting location. It requires an IRC format.

Furthermore, obviously the Fedora calendar doesn't check for room clashes.

Next action: Find out how owns the calendar app and contact them for improvement.

@pboy In doing some research on this, There is a workaround for the location for an event; We would have to put the full link to the meeting channel (https://matrix.to/#/%23meeting:fedoraproject.org) in the body. It wouldn't be a hyperlink, (I don't think) but it would provide a way to see where the meeting is.

This is the best that we could come up with.

(as to who owns fedoracal, it's CommOps)
