Downtime planning for a site in a grid often requires avoiding date collisions with other sites, with the objective to minimize impact to the supported VOs. Currently this implies a tedious search in GOCDB and largely manual list keeping.

Having downtime dates in ics format would help a lot, as this can be used in calendar applications to show date conflicts visually. So I would like to ask you if the portal could deliver those dates in ics format, one file per (selected) site or alternatively, whether the calendars by site can be published in order to be able to subscribe (CalDAV)?

The use case which led me to ask this is the planning for downtimes of the WLCG tier-1 sites, where CCIN2P3 is part of. Thanks,

Cheers,
