A web app to allow easy viewing of the free/busy status of the GDS meeting rooms within Aviation House. It uses the Google calendar API to retrieve the status of all meeting rooms on the 3rd, 6th and 7th floors and displays them in an easy to read manor. The status of rooms can be filtered by floor as well as date.
It also sends email reminders once a day to all staff who have any room bookings the following day. The reminders are to prompt people to unbook rooms if they no longer require them.
This is a Python/Flask application that utilises Google API's to fetch resource and calendar information and present it to a client in an easy to view manor.
The email reminders are currently being sent via AWS SES.
