infra is already tasked enough without having to tackle such a trivial 
resource need.  google calendar is working today and exports all of its stuff 
via a variety of formats for people to important into their own calendaring 
system.

there are plenty of devs who dont have a problem signing in to use google 
calendar which means it should be trivial for you to find someone to add an 
event if you so desire.  or to use a standard invite format and e-mail it to 
someone who simply adds it to the calendar via the gmail interface.
