This sounds a lot like the primary sticking point of our current setup: having someone around at all times to approve submissions. It's a lot faster to approve something, then to mess with HTML, asking for images in the correct side, creating news entries, committing, making sure it looks right, etc. So no, I don't think *this* would be a problem anymore. No argument there! And if there are always people around to do the reviewing, then awesome! :) cheers, Derick So here's the state of play. The current PHP conferences on joind.in have been notified that they can add a phpdotnet tag to their events, and some of them have chosen to do so (this is opt-in, so we won't forcibly edit anyone's event to include them). You can see the list here: https://joind.in/event/tag/phpdotnet We'll let event organisers of other PHP conferences know about the tag when they submit their events for approval, so after a couple of years of emailing them all the time, we should have a decent awareness of this link. If you have people contacting you directly to add their events, they can simply add to joind.in and tag to be included (but they do need to comply with our requirements, which are a clear description at least partly in English).

If they are willing then this problem goes away and therefore there's only one way to get conferences making everyones lives easier by relying on the joindin team to continue doing the good job that they are already doing. You'll have to ask them specifically - But the last I talked with them about it, it came down to basically: 1. ConFoo doesn't want to rely on having a core part of their conference experience (rating speakers) to be reliant on an external resource. 2. Joind.in's real core sole purpose is to be a talk-rating system 3. Therefore, they don't put themselves on joind.in To your above question, and in the end to Hannes point. No, it's not *required*, and if we 'lose one conference to gain others' + automation. It's a good thing. I'm just trying to look at this from a POV of php.net being a public resource that should, IMO, be flexible. ConFoo is just the 'current case' for the argument. If it were 'simple' enough to build a second data source, IE: Something as simple as an RSS feed reader, as a bit of a hack to get other things in there simply. That would seem a worthwhile thing. Even if it never (or rarely) gets used. But that's also why I suggested doing 'whatever can be simply done', versus building an entire other system. But all that being said of course, I'm just giving my POV and advice. Given that you are coding this Paul, and you are supporting it Hannes - It's totally up to you both.

Re: [PHP-WEBMASTER] JoindIn Integration With php.net - With Patches This Time
Hi Lorna/Hannes, After reviewing your conversation and the questions asked, I have a few suggestions that will help alleviate the hurdles we're about to push through. 1) We need to differentiate between confs and meetups by having: a) A new form field with 2 radio options to choose from User Group Meetup or Conference b) To return this new field in the API responses c) An API parameter to filter results by i.e: ?event_type=conference 2) For events appearing on php.net by: a) Taking the user to the Edit Event after they create their event. b) Putting a question on the Edit Event form which is: Would you like your conference to appear on php.net? which would appear if(they have a 'php' tag OR the title of their event has 'php' in it). By choosing yes they will get a tag named phpdotnet which I can filter by. OPTIONAL VERIFICATION OF EVENTS: d) When the user chooses a phpdotnet' tag an email will be sent to joindin admins to prompt them to approve this phpdotnet request and only verified events will come back from the API. I believe by implementing the 2 above proposed enhancements to joind.in that we'll have a solid way to get only events that have been verified to make their way to php.net.

Let me recap: - joind.in has data that could be re-used on php.net, and we'd be really pleased to allow/enable this. - it will be possible to differentiate between a meetup and a conference, this feature is already planned. Has somebody started it ? If not I will do it - there won't be any php.net specific form input items but using a custom tag would be totally fine by us. How do you suggest custom tags make their way there. - all our event submissions are verified by a human. They verify what is relevant for joind.in. I can't guess what another site's requirements are. I did not know this. This makes our jobs MUCH easier :) great news It looks to me like what Paul has is pretty much what is needed, we'll work on making the tags much more used/visible and as I say, if you let me know which custom tag you want to use then we'll work on getting the event hosts to use it.
