Just wanted to throw this idea out there if anybody wants a cool project, to make an iCal calendar with all the Hawaiian Kingdom holidays, historical events, etc. Could also include state holidays and such, but main thing is the original kingdom holidays. (I have a copy of a Hawaiian Historical Society calendar a few years ago that had all the holidays and a lot of good historical dates if anyone wanted to work from that.)
I’m not sure exactly how it’s done, but can’t be too hard to do. It uses iCalendar format.
Along with being useful and educational for those in Hawaii and Hawaiians abroad, it would also show Hawaii along with all the other countries in Apple’s calendar downloads and other iCal calendar respositories, which would be a small way to create some awareness and curiosity.
Aloha,
I love a good challenge…so I’m going to give it a try…but I won’t get a big head and if someone else makes one better I’ll remove mine….Mahalo
awesome! I’m sure if you get it started and get an initial version out, you can add and improve over time. Let me know if you want me to send you a copy of my HHS calendar (if I can dig it up somewhere…)
Been compiling a list of dates that I’d like to to contribute. Where do I send them? I’m sure others have lists too. When combined, it will look pretty impressive.
Awesome Leon, glad you like the idea, you can send them to Ka’ehunuiokaihe and send me a copy too.
Where can I access this calendar of the Hawaiian Kingdom?
I don’t think anyone ever made it. I still think it’s a good idea for someone to do.
