Adding the Pandas calendar (existing gcal ics)

[noatamir]

We want to add the Monthly Pandas Dev Meeting to the calendars page but they already have a calendar link. See here: https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/development/meeting.html

Is it possible to add a link to their .ics file instead of generating a calendar? That way we won't need to maintain another calendar and make sure they remain coordinated 😉

Duplicate work is a valid concern. Sure we can put a link to the .ics on the page. For that we need to adapt https://github.com/scientific-python/scientific-python.org/blob/main/layouts/calendars/list.html to allow another link section.

@tupui is this something a newcomer can do? I would like to work on the issue

~@Chinwendu20 yes and no. A newcomer can do the work, but a Pandas' maintainer would need to approve.~ Misreading.

I was too quick here. The work on the architecture part of our website might be too much for a newcomer. Really depends on the level here.
