I know I'm probably gonna get lynched, but...

... Facebook event?

Yeah, OK. :)

I have PHP code that displays my upcoming comedy schedule and gives you
iCal and Remind :) format output.  I'd be happy to donate the code if it's
of interest.  It's really very simple.

Hi Richard
The organizer of another Ottawa group is planning an alternative to Meetup. It 
is more than an alternative, it looks like a big improvement. See 
https://flawk.to/roadmap

I'd be happy to help with coordinating meeting announcements and speakers. 
I've done this before.

Re: [linux] How are the oc-linux meetings announced, or is there a master schedule?

[Scott Murphy]

Typically they get announced when I remember to announce them, as well as when 
I have info to post. This one could have been announced a few days ago, but I 
was waiting until tonight to send the email. 

Sometimes we don’t have a speaker until a day or two before, so I could have a 
generic meeting announcement, but that is the same as saying that we have a 
meeting the first Thursday of the month.

I refuse to use meetup, as it has become painfully expensive to use. You pay by 
persons signed up, so if a few hundred sign up, we are on the hook for more 
cash than I am willing to spend. We had one and when it started to cost real 
money, we stopped using it.

I can do something a little simpler though. I can add a calendar to the site. 
It is easy enough to do, as I use if for another group. I may have set portions 
of it up already, I'll have to check. Anyway, there will be a subscribe link 
there that provides an ical and other subscription. I could even make it sit on 
the front page of the web site and have things link back to the wiki. More 
thought needed here, but there are only so many hours in a day and I have 
reached saturation. I expect it will get a little calmer soon, but right now 
I’m rather busied out.

So for the next meeting, expect the email and website updates to happen tonight.

Re: [linux] How are the oc-linux meetings announced, or is there a master schedule?

[J C Nash]

To try to address this issue, I've just edited the wiki and the index.html. I 
think I changed the mechanism a
bit -- my html skills are a bit outdated. However, there is a pointer to an 
interim agenda on linux-ottawa.org
and wiki.linux-ottawa.org.

I know Scott has a lot on his plate lately. Maybe some others -- particularly 
newbies -- would be interested in
giving some minor help. We could use some new ideas and inspiration, and you 
can suggest topics about which you
want to learn. Come to the early part of the meeting and we'll get started!

Best, JN

We were using it at one point, but I think we stopped once our free trial
membership ran out. Should be documented in the BoD minutes, back from when
I was on the board.

Re: [linux] How are the oc-linux meetings announced, or is there a master schedule?

[Rick Leir]

Scott
Would you mind reminding me when the upcoming meeting is? From memory, it is 
the first Thursday of each month, so it would be... But the neurons are over 
committed.

If we were a meetup group, then there would be a nice ical file attached to the 
announcement email. And we would have new people attending. I am not pushing 
for that, but the ical attachment would be nice.
Thanks
Rick

  i've whined about this a couple of times ... even at the moment,
there is no information about the upcoming meeting at the web page.
