We use the mermaid gantt chart to track our releases, as well as team individuals that are out of office.

Looks like this: Out of office: [John Doe] [Stacy] Release: [code freeze] [Staging date] [Release!]

You need at least two leading spaces to get that to render as code and preserve the layout, like:

     Out of office: 
            [John Doe]
                         [Stacy]
     Release:
            [code freeze]
                           [Staging date]
                                            [Release!]

I use a google spreadsheet with 1 colum per day and 1 row per person. It looks like:

          Jan
          1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ...
  John          X X X X X
  Stacy   X X X

  Release       CF       FF
