Get to know what's happening!

 what is okgo?
okgo is the first desktop calendar to display event from public social calendars using RSS. The lack of a tool to collectively gather and present social events information gave an opportunity to bind existing technologies togather to create okgo. It started out as an effort to get a consolidated view of events happening in one city
 What does okgo look like?
Hope you like it!. Look here ->
 How to jump to events?
Click on the date in the calendar and the view should automatically display events if any. The dates for which events are created are already displayed in a different color
 Event does not show up!
Dont be surprised if you know that an event is happening in your city and it does not show up in okgo. okgo depends on the feeds that it has been configured with.
 Same event more than once!!!
Quite possible. If you more than one feed is configured and both of them have the same event listed.
 Where is info coming from?
okgo currently reads the RSS feeds provided by "upcoming.org" and "eventful" two of the most popular social event calendars. okgo can be configured to read from any other RSS feed.
 Should I keep it running?
Not necessary. Just run it wheneever you want to find out whats happening ;).
 How can new RSS feeds be added?
Use the icons on the top bar to add cities and manage feeds..
 Is it just an RSS aggregator?
It is not intended to be. okgo does not write any information from the feeds into the local system. It presents the RSS feed as it is read.
 System requirements?
okgo is created using Java and some opensource java libraries. Hence  a JRE (version 1.5 or above) is necessary.  It has been tested on "xubuntu".
 Where to get latest JRE?

 it doesnt work :|
:) . Send me a mail at ko(at)okgo(dot)in with the details of the feed that you are trying to use. I'll try and fix it. But first ensure that the system requirements are met and you have the necessary JRE installed in your system.
