We need to update the event model to contain more data so that it can accommodate people filtering events

Action Items

• See API requirements CivicTechJobs#13 for details on the models that CTJ requires (see here)
• Implement the models within VRMS
• Release dependency on Next Steps after VRMS model completion CivicTechJobs#40

the following images display meeting time check boxes and the roles checkboxes which will both be necessary inputs for users to find project open roles with meeting times that they can make.

Although its worth noting that it says 3 but under meeting time but it only shows one meeting time above.

Quick question on the meeting time check boxes:
#761 (comment)

Are these choices going to be displayed in the user's local time? If yes, do we need to account for people who live abroad but are willing to attend meetings that, for them, are in the middle of the night? We've had a number of people who have attended meetings that are outside of those distinctions of morning, afternoon, and evening in their local time.

This issue was created before People Depot was born. As the database and api functionality is now in the hands of people depot, I am closing this ticket.
