Calagator

"Calagator is a unified calendar for the technology community of Portland, Oregon. We are an all-volunteer effort and encourage anyone to import, create, and edit events."

As of 2012, it's a fairly well-used site, attractive and useful on screens big and small. Calagator is open source! Another cool thing: you can search for venues that have wifi from their venue search page

Here's a meeting announcement DanRasmussen wrote for Calagator. It'll mostly work for similar event-listing pages as well. Copy, paste, edit... make sure you get the venue and dates correct!!

Calagator Tips

Search for Telco on Calagator to make sure we have upcoming events listed!
Clone an existing Calagator page (http://calagator.org/events/1250462345|PTP Monthly]], PTP Weekly) to create a new event. Saves typing! Might have to update these page links at some point if Calagator drops old data from their site.
Adding/Editing event listings works better with Javascript enabled. Calagator doesn't really warn you if Javascript is off, but things won't work as you expect.
Review Calagator's venue listings for PTP nodes and meeting locations. Add website information, correct inaccuracies, etc.

Weekly Meeting Announcement

Personal Telco is a collection of individuals, businesses, and organizations who share -- or plan to share -- internet connectivity rather than hoard it. It's also a group of volunteers who want this network to grow. We believe internet access should be available, fair, and uncensored. Personal Telco Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in PDX.

Whether you're a technology wizard or technically incompetent, volunteering with us is a great way to learn something new, enjoy teaching others, or use your skills to do something useful!
