PSM shared calendar

The lab uses a shared calendar (hosted by Google Calendar) where people can indicate their availability and schedule group meetings. If you plan on being out of the lab for an extended period, indicate it here to help people that may be trying to contact you. Granularity is roughly on the order of "half a day". Since the calendar is hosted by Google Calendar, users with Gmail accounts can easily link it to their own Google calendars for read/write access. Sunbird and iCal can also view the calendar, but note that this will be read-only access. Sunbird/iCal users will need to log into Google Calendar using the lab account in order to make changes.
