Re: Starting Chicago Gnome User Group



Hi,

For those who are impatient, the following concrete tasks are up for grabs:
* Consolidate all the GNOME events pages in the wiki and leave stubs
pointing to the consolidated page
* Add events to the GNOME Calendar (contact Dave for permissions)
* Consolidate & clean up GnomeEvents/ConferenceAndShowHowTo and
GnomeEventsOrganisation
* Bookmark GNOME event reports, write-ups, news items with the gnome tag
in del.icio.us (need coherent tagging to make it useful to identify a
given event, or a group of related events)

Also, one other piece of relevant information: the UserGroups page
already has a list of events:
http://live.gnome.org/UserGroups#head-130c87ff1c03e4dca1365387cc5e731706e8b051

and also a calendar for annual events with the rough time of year:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents/Annual

There are also two other pages listing events (some of which have
happened, some of which are to come, or have never been organised):
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents/Past


There's the makings of a cheat sheet:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents/ConferenceAndShowHowTo

And a check-list for events:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeEventsOrganisation


All of these lists should be consolidated into one or two places - an
agenda of upcoming events can come from Google Calendar, the wiki page
can have a list of annual events & their approximate dates (to prepare
stands, get space, have speakers, etc), and give information about GNOME
presence in particular events.

The check-list and the cheat sheet should be merged into one page and
cleaned up a little.

We also need a place to gather reports on past events - I've been using
blog entries and del.icio.us but there might be a better way. Here's my
list of GNOME links, built up over the last year or two:
http://del.icio.us/bolsh/gnome

Unfortunately, I've been inconsistent in my use of tags, so a lot of
those are news items, some are for events, some are blog entries, ...

Cheers,
Dave.
