I wonder what is the best way to work with fixed dates in org.
I do not want to them entered as "SCHEDULED".
Say I have a meeting on a certain date.
I do not want to enter it as a todo, as for me it is not really a todo
but a simple meeting which is done when it is over.
If I enter it as a simple headline (todo or no todo) and schedule it it
will show up after the meeting as due until I mark it as "DONE" or
delete the schedule.
Now I could use the diary. Agenda view will show the event and complain
no more after it is past. Disadvantage: I cannot org-tag the diary entry.
As I do not use the diary and diary functions are included in org I can
use something like:
* Fixed date event :@LOCATION:
<%%(diary-date 29 08 2007)>
which is ugly and cannot be entered with the help of the calendar (as by
"C-c C-s"
What do you think? Would it be a good idea to at least support the
entering of a "diary-date" by a org function directly with the help of
the calendar? Maybe create a third type of schedule type: "FIXED"
besides of "SCHEDULED" and "DEADLINE"?
How do you manage fixed events?

What's wrong with just using a regular date?
* Test Meeting
<2007-08-27 Mon 10:00-11:00>
It shows up on the agenda on the date and time specified similar to a
diary entry.

Huh, that was easy, thank you!
Why didn't I find it? I was too deep into "SCHEDULED" and "DEADLINE"
thinking and simply did not read the docs fully:
Plain time stamp
A simple time stamp just assigns a date/time to an item. This is
just like writing down an appointment in a paper agenda, or like writing
down an event in a diary, when you want to take note of when something
happened. In the timeline and agenda displays, the headline of an entry
associated with a plain time stamp will be shown exactly on that date.
* Meet Peter at the movies <2006-11-01 Wed 19:15>
* Discussion on climate change <2006-11-02 Thu 20:00-22:00>
Sorry for stealing your time. And thanks again.
