Seattle University Campus Calendar
This is pretty cool -- I think it's a homegrown application. Nice features:
- day, week, and month views
- user-submittable events, with logins
- ASP-/ASPX-based
- subcalendar feature

Here at Seattle University, we tackled this issue within the last two
years. In the end, we decided not to combine our facilities scheduling
system with promoting events on the public web site in order to give us
maximum flexibility with distributing calendar information across SU's
family of web sites. Below is some information on our Campus Calendar
system:
Any SU user can submit an event to the Campus Calendar; Within two days, submissions is screened and published here:
http://www.seattleu.edu/go/calendar/
Our Public Relations team screens these events and hand picks those ideal for placement on the SU home page:
http://www.seattleu.edu/
All events must be categorized by subject and audience in order to
sprinkle contextual news and events on the interior pages (right-side) of
the public web site:
http://www.seattleu.edu/home/prospective_students/
Last year's Phase II project included a "subcalendar" feature for approved SU groups. These subcalendars allow certain users (or groups of users) to manage their own calendars:
http://www.seattleu.edu/events/sc_showAll.asp
Subcalendars can easily be published to other SU web sites:
http://alumniweb.seattleu.edu/netcommunity/Page.aspx?&pid=221
We now offer our Academic Calendar (previously PDF-only based) in
subcalendar format. http://www.seattleu.edu/events/list_ac.asp?D=11/29/2004&V=3&SC=30
All events appearing on the Campus Calendar can be shared/published on other subcalendars. For example, this event appears on both the
Registrar's and Student Activities' Calendars but was submitted once:
http://www.seattleu.edu/events/detail.asp?SID=2454&SC=25
We also provide a basic RSVP email feature:
http://www.seattleu.edu/events/rsvp_email.asp?SID=2980&SC=25
We do have other ideas, but decided to put them on hold since there are so many other cool projects to be working on. I doubt you're interested but you can find more information regarding the Campus Calendar project and others on Blueprint, our project web site.
I hope this was helpful! -Justin
