Calendar¶
There are two types of calendars at D-PHYS that we recommend to use: SOGo is our calendar solution and Microsoft Exchange is provided by Informatikdienste.
Take a look at the Calendar compatibility Matrix to choose the right one for you.
D-PHYS SOGo/Calendar¶
We run a web-based calendar system (SOGo) that allows calendar management and collaboration (sharing/editing) with other D-PHYS users. It provides a personal calendar for every user (by default) and group calendars (contact us). It also syncs calendar entries to a wide range of desktop and mobile clients.
Calendar Feeds¶
We also host events.phys.ethz.ch, a web-based event announcement system. Apart from the displays around campus, RSS and PDF downloads, the events are also provided as iCal subscriptions - see the link below.
Doodle¶
If you need to coordinate meeting times, have a look at ETH's doodle. This time management tool allows to poll collaborators to determine the best time and date to meet.
ETH Exchange/Calendar¶
The Informatikdienste of ETH use Microsoft's Exchange for email and calendar.
If you find yourself receiving a lot of Exchange meeting requests from other people at ETH but are yourself using SOGo, you can sync your calendar with Thunderbird as described here. If you then read the invitation email in Thunderbird, it detects the event and allows you to accept the invitation.
