You can try also the {{Cronos month}} that is very similar but with different rendering.

You can customize this calendar for various reasons. For example, you can have it in your user page.

In the following sections all the available options.
Personalization[edit]
You can change the text of the blue Add Event! button with:
{{Cronos list|add_button_text = Add Meeting! }}
You can even hide it with:
{{Cronos list|add_button = no }}
Filter by interests[edit]
You can choose to display just the events under your interests using the tags argument.
For example, to only show announces about an hackathon or a meetup, you may try:
{{Cronos list|tags = hackathon, meetup }}
If you cannot see anything, maybe there is not any Event associated to that Tag.
It's up to the Event creators to be kind and always put some useful tags to their Event.
Anyway, everyone can contribute to the Event page to add some reasonable Tags.
Next/Previous month[edit]
You can display future or past months using the month_shift argument.
Examples:
{{Cronos list|month_shift = -1 }}
{{Cronos list|month_shift = 1 }}
Monday/Sunday preference[edit]
As default the calendar starts from Monday, but you may want to disable this behavior to start from Sunday.
Example:
{{Cronos list|start_from_monday = 1 }}
{{Cronos list|start_from_monday = 0 }}
Show more days[edit]
You can change how much days (expressed in number of weeks) are displayed in the calendar.
For example:
{{Cronos list|weeks = 10 }}
Please be kind with the environment and do not try to request too much days. A low number will mean that the page generation will be very cheap.
Style[edit]
Actually the style is handled by Template:Cronos month/Head/style.css.
