It'd be awesome if the PTO app would kick off a meeting invite to my Zimbra calendar so people can easily find my free/busy without making a separate visit to the PTO list page. Work flow: 1) Bret uses PTO app to schedule time off 2) Bret click's Submit 3) Email notifications are sent 4) Karen's alerted to PTO 5) Bret's Zimbra calendar is blocked off for the days he's gone This would go a long way towards consolidating free/busy across the org and make scheduling meetings/calls/everything easier. Thoughts folks?

I think this might be a webdev thing.

So, I don't think I was clear. I want the PTO app to make a meeting request for the person who's requesting PTO to attend their vacation. I'm not sure if we can make zimbra auto-accept that invitation or not. Either way the days would be at least somewhat blocked off.

Should be possible to at least send an ICS request.

Hey Mike, I know you guys are swamped with release stuff, but is it possible to add this bug to one of your dev planning lists :)?

Now the PTO app in place, I there is a little bit of an update to this. When a person goes to put in a request for PTO, it should send a calendar invite for the person to block out the full day as being on PTO.

It could also send the same calendar invite to the people who are CCed anyway. I like putting my team's PTO on my calendar (as "free" time of course) so I can see when people are out. One problem will be half-days since the app does not know where to place the 4 hours in the work day. Perhaps it just needs to add a "busy" for the day and call it "PTO (half-day)" or so.

Perhaps we can update the PTO app to add a PTO for morning or afternoon (for half-day).

I'll add add an additional $5 and a beer to go with Bret's promised burrito. I don't know that it needs to send the cal invite to everyone CCed, but definitely to the person filling out the time.

Another alternative approach would be to have a subscribable iCal link for each user (http. Everyone can include that link in their zimbra calendar and automatically have their PTO included in their free/busy time. Additionally, individuals can subscribe to the calendars of people they work closely with. It seems like we're close to this, if I go to https://intranet.mozilla.org/pto/export.php?format=ics&user=blassey@mozilla.com&last_name=Lassey I get a PTOs.ics file that I can download, post to a server and subscribe to. For some reason subscribing directly to that link doesn't work though.

Hey all - I would like to put some renewed attention on this. This would be very helpful for recruiting and I am sure many other parts of the org to make this happen. What do I need to do to get this rolling?

We should do this in Google calendar most likely. But let's hold off for a final decision on the move to GMail.

Hi Laura, any update on this? It would also be awesome to be able to subscribe to people's PTO calendars.
