would not be able to attend drupal7 release event (coz of my exams) but it would be my pleasure to contribute to fossevents.in . Since fossevents.in was not ready in the meantime we started with a temporary fossevents page( http://iftytech.com/node/3 ) so that people outside the community don't miss it at all. But its not the solution !!!!!!!!!!
Looking forward for a permanent solution>>> fossevents.in which should be attractive + simple. Here m sharing some ideas please give your feedback 1) For the home page we can have a jquery slider (header) for the upcoming events just like this http://eventful.com/losangeles/events (please avoid the content :P) n i can do this job regularly as to update the slider and removing the past events from the slider. It should be catchy and attractive( for the people outside the community). The slider should show events in according to their dates( eg: 15-Jan-2011 then 10-Jan-2011 then 2-Jan-2011.......). in the content of the page we can have a brief description of FOSS , motive behind FOSS Events and building community. 2) About Us page(optional) we can have this page where we can have a brief description about various foss communities in our country from where we get these event news and all. This can solve dispute among various foss communities which is quite common these days :P 3) Upcoming Events page We can have a calender module in the right slidebar just like in http://fossevents.org In the left slidebar we can have our twitter or some other feeds. in the main body content we can have a simple top down list of the upcoming events which should have links to the event sites and if the event is not having any site or page then(specially the small school and college events) ??? And we should mention the events as open event or closed events(such FOSS events which are allowed for the students of that college only.) 4) Gallery/Past events/ Coverage page this page can also have the top down list of the past events and their coverage via link to photos and blogs by the attendies. This will bring all communities together to share their experiences. 5) Contact us page A simple contact page with contact form so that people can share the upcoming events link as well as their photos and blog links after any event. @Kinshuk ya thats a good idea to publish the feeds of fossevents.in on fossevents.org and to have no registration as it should look simpler to a new user. The main idea behind my this layout is to attract the people outside the communities to these events. As far my personal experience i found that people outside the communities never get the news of such events and sometimes if they get then they get are not able to get the main agenda of such events. The most important thing fossevents.in can't do these all jobs just being as a website it should be a social media for FOSS events in India via various social networking channels. Cheers..........
