Thanks for your interest in helping out the community by adding groups/events to our index.

Events

Events are typically longer than 4 hours and happen on an irregular schedule.

To Add an event create a Markdown File with a URL friendly name for the event. It should start with the date of the event in year, month, day format and an underscore (i.e. 20181020_EventName.md).

In the file you create you will enter the details for your event, it should look like this.
