Re: [LIG] [ilugd] [PLUG] [x-post] foss events list in india 2008?
dear all, so looks like the community has gravitated towards upcoming.yahoo.com and that solves our problem. one final issue: exactly what is the url for discovering all foss and foss-related events in dinai at upcoming.yahoo.com for instance, when i visit the site, it naturally defaults to 'delhi' as my location, and lists events i am not interested in. on searching for 'foss' events in 'india' i get a list of two events, foss.in and the chennai event. the bangalore barcamp is not listed. sigh! signal to noise ratio needs soem work. one single url for the foss community will do wonders. philip, what's your take? :-) niyam -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

I'd suggest just adding events to upcoming.org and tagging them with foss and india (optional). I could write up a pipe that gets you all foss events in india from there as an RSS feed or JSON or possibly ical. This can be imported into any site that wants to display it. We'll also have pretty maps ;) i think this truly addresses and solves the problem. then all LUGs can feed it into their sites, users can subscribe to the RSS feeds, kenneth won't need a volunteer to populate the nrcfoss sites, and well, the pretty maps are great for guys like me with no geo-magnetic sense in my forehead. so, the quick fox jumps over the lazy blue moon. :-) between a choice for linux-india.org and the above site, i vote for upcoming.yahoo.com with the pipe from philip. +1 what's your vote? the only task left will be to prod everyone to submit upcoming or planned events to upcoming.yahoo.com site. one last question: the compiled info on the site/page. can we specifically mention the cc-by or cc-pd or other license or public domain dedication to that compilation? niyam -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Ok, I second the vote, and here are your feeds: JSON: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=4jphZveG3BG0fLa9jknRlg_render=json RSS: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=4jphZveG3BG0fLa9jknRlg_render=rss And if all you want is a simple HTML unordered list that you can stick into your page, use this: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=4jphZveG3BG0fLa9jknRlg and apply your own CSS rules. Philip PS: The pipe page is here: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=4jphZveG3BG0fLa9jknRlg Anyone can view the source, but to modify it, you'll have to clone it first. Let me know if you make changes and would like them to get back into the primary pipe. wow! this is so fantastic, this is one flew over the cuckoo's nest under the blues moon! :-) a big hand of applause for philip for sorting out the site and pipes for the indian foss community. way to go! next steps: 1) various LUG and foss admins, would recommend you take the pipes and the feeds and dose them to your respective sites. 2) rahul, you could consider asking your staff to submit event-entries to this site, and then feed it back to your openitis.com site. 3) periodically, a few of us, including i, will send reminders out on mailing lists, requesting people to submit their event details to this url. okie dokie, let's roll with the details. so don't tell me we've only got foss.in and chennai's event happening. we've got: barcamp in bangalore in november freed.in feb 2008 linuxasia new avatar in feb gnunify osscamp delhi placeholders.. whoever has the details, please add them to the site. :-) -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

we've got two shortlisted sites: http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/calendar/ It might be best to keep add to it, than re-invent the wheel. [snip] Kingsly and linux-india.org recommended by kishore bhargava. the nrcfosshelpline site is more populated but alas, no way for anyone to log in and submit an event, or so it seems. the linux-india events module seems to have a rather clunky interface, and so far the only event it lists is foss.in. however, anyone can log in to submit an event. so which one, or which other, do you guys recommend? :-) n -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
