Hi all,

there is currently no section for upcomming on the website. I think such a 
section is
very important because user of and potential contributors to LibO can get in 
touch
with us (face2face).
If there is not enough space on the website for such a section there should be 
a very
important link to another resource of the TDF with the appropriate information 
(maybe
in the wiki) (but I would prefer the website).

Regards,
Andreas


The list of events is found here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events

I wrote of my impression and thoughts to improve for marketing purposes 
on the following thread:

Cheers

But it seemed that the wiki-site is not very wide known inside (and outside) our
project. Thus there should be a link from the website to the event list ;-)

I think that would be a good idea, but it doen't work with a link from the 
website.

There needs to be a good calendaring system. Is there a good calendar 
module for the CMS?

Well - what is your definition of good :-)?

I added one on the staging site (and also on the live site, but there
it isn't used yet)

http://pumbaa.documentfoundation.org:7780/get-involved/events/

by default it will show upcoming events, to view past events use the
calendar-widget or the dropdowns below the calendar (clicking the
month will select the hole month as range, clicking next to a week
will select the week, etc), you can also use the URL notation to
filter the date range

http://pumbaa.documentfoundation.org:7780/get-involved/events/fomdate[/todate]

fromdate and todate are in format MMDD - but don't need to be
specified in full.
i.e. http://pumbaa.documentfoundation.org:7780/get-involved/events/view/2010
will display all events of the year 2010, 201010 would display all of
october, etc.

(existing entries mostly come from a no-longer actively used calendar
feed from OOoDeV)

There are two basic types of events, one type has a full page for the
content, the other one is simpler and attached to the calendar object

compare the two dummy ones.

I was hoping that the calendar could manage categories. If used by NL 
sites, does it show ALL of the events regardless of languages? I was 
hoping that we could filter in/out categories, for example report on 
events for the last year in N.America and S.America or by NL events. If 
not then we could do it by hand.

Is it still on the live site? I can't seem to find it.

I am all for moving the wiki events calendar to the CMS. It should be 
implemented for all languages. As usual, the NL teams could decide if 
they would want to have it or not. Not sure where it would sit on the 
menu, the Get Involved menu is already quite a busy menu line. Looks 
like the next logical place is in the About Us as this is where blogs 
and Twitter feeds are found.


Does this sound like a good idea everyone? Move the wiki events calendar 
to the CMS calendar? This way, we will have a history/record of past 
events for planning and marketing strategy.


Cheers

Marc

No - it would only show events associated with that specific calendar.

 could filter in/out categories, for example report on events for the last

Well, it doesn't a filter by default, but has corresponding api to add
custom filters, etc.

Yes, you cannot find it because as I've written: it isn't used yet.
You would have to create a page of type Calendar, and then add
corresponding events.

Within the CMS, it is handled just the regular pages, i.e. you can
place it wherever you want.
