Edward, Could you put the events you come across on the google calander? Then we can transfer them to the wiki if we are going to have a Sugar presence.
All on one calender with a tag in the header would be good for now, if the idea scales we can scale to accommodate the growth. Your point about scope is spot-on. Sugar Labs need to focus on the learning platform, but be willing to talk to anyone and everyone with whom we can have a mutually beneficial relationship. FWIW, I have been amazed at my inability to successfully assess who will become a valuable contributor and who is will not. I am willing to talk to anyone:) On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 3:19 AM, Edward Cherlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 2:34 PM, Greg Dekoenigsberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > On Wed, 15 Oct 2008, Edward Cherlin wrote: > > > >> What sorts of events would people like to see?
