Key Questions:

1) do Make Summer and Educator Innovator events both pull from the same database? e.g., one API or two? http://educatorinnovator.org/calendar/ 
http://makesummer.org/

@ Gavin: heads up that this is planned for the next [july11] train

I'm assuming these platforms intending to use our public Events REST API?

If so I'll be available to answer questions, but it will be up to the individual platform owners to write code to consume our data.

[Matt Thompson (@OpenMatt :OpenMatt)]

* Thanks Gavin. Can you link here to the documentation they'll need for our API?

Sure thing: https://github.com/mozilla/webmaker-events-service

The REST API is here: https://events-api.webmaker.org/

Hi Meisha and Luke 

I wanted to re-open the conversation about having Maker Party event platform  feed the calendars for Make Summer and Educator Innovator sites for the summer. Our engineers have set this up to work on our end. We have also set up a ticket in our bug tracking system to help get this done and have a place where the right people on both sides can see this through. Our goal is to have this working by July 11.

This can be found here: http://mzl.la/1qOK2b2
Would be great if the people who work on this create a bugzilla account and use the tool to complete the work, comment etc
Currently in the bug you will see links to the documentation and the API

Please feel free to loop in anyone on your side that is needed to this email and have them track the ticket.

Let me know if you have any questions, looking forward to making this work this year.
