Re: Submitting Community Events

If anyone is interested…

I have a place where I try to have all calls for papers on both Oracle and PG-events together (I know _we_ don’t really care about Oracle, so the though is to have this as a kind of conversion spot).
Anyone who wants to share information, please drop me a line.

If your event follows these guidelines, please check the “Community Event” when you submit your event. Upon selecting “Community Event,” a text box will appear asking you to describe why your event is a community event. Please do your best to reference the guidelines[2], which are linked to from the form. This process is supposed to be self-certifying: moderators will perform basic verification but will not reach out unless there are outstanding questions.

If it would be possible to publish map/calendar of all PostgreSQL meetups in some “central place” there would be more chances for curious people find meetings nearby, and for small countries like mine it would increase possible audience.

The reason is that there are so many of those meetups that they'd often be the only thing listed.

And yes, including something like a geographical map of them has been considered for this as well. "Small Matter Of Programming" required to set up a separate section for it, but definitely something we should do. Including something like people being able to register a meetup from meetup.com <http://meetup.com/> and then having us automatically populate a calendar from that.
