Transform floor schedules into iCal and integrate with committee schedules for a unified congressional calendar.
Problem
Floor schedules and committee schedules are typically provided in separate, non-integrated formats, making it difficult to get a holistic view of the congressional calendar.
Solution
- Floor Schedule iCal Generation: Develop a script or tool to automatically transform publicly available House and Senate floor schedule data (from official notices) into iCal (.ics) format. This allows users to easily import the floor schedule into their personal calendars (Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.).
- Integrated Congressional Schedule: Explore integrating floor schedule data into existing committee schedule tracking platforms (such as Congress.gov and GovTrack.us). This would provide a unified view of both floor action and committee meetings, improving overall schedule awareness.
