I was looking to "Save the Date" however could not find an iCalendar (ICS) link, only platform specific links were available. I then noticed that the Apple link IS to an iCalendar standard ICS file:

Could the link be renamed to something like "iCalendar / Apple", "Apple / iCalender", "iCalendar (ICS)" or something similar? Maybe even another option explicitly listed as iCalendar? For people like myself who don't use Apple may not be aware that an Apple Calendar link is likely to be an iCalendar file. At present the page appears to exclude any user not using Apple, Microsoft, Google or Yahoo for their calendaring.

May be as simple as?:

Wow, yes! This is the one open standard that we have for events and I would like to see it there! And at the start of the list.
Sorry - I am quite passionate about this :)
@glebapps what is your idea about this? I get, you wrote the calendar bit.

This seems like a great fit for the website, I wonder why they haven't added it yet. Though, as this seems interesting - I will be making a fork of this project and working on it, check it out!

The summit is over and I do not see one happening this year. Your changes might not be used.

Well, I am using the template for personal purposes, for an event at school so I think I will add the changes over there!
