How to create events? #206

Closed nejohnson2 closed 11 years ago

nejohnson2 commented 11 years ago

All I can find about creating events is to email organizers. Is there a way for users to create events? How are events structured in general? Does adding a tag titled 'event' create an event on the calendar? Thanks!

Any page with an events listing (they are by region, like this: http://publiclab.org/wiki/gulf-coast) has a "post an event" button in the sidebar. This system isn't fully built out yet, but those events are then listed in that sidebar. We also have a Google calendar, which is how you get listed on the http://publiclab.org/events page.

That's a good question. I'm adding a new item in the Participate menu called "Post an event" which has this information. Sorry - we are still adding things to the new website and never had a great answer for event postings besides the mailing lists themselves.

The "Post and Event" in the Participate menu was exactly was I was looking for. Nice!

Organizers also have access to the main Google Calendar for Events.
