Here's a meeting announcement I wrote for Calagator. It'll mostly work for similar event-listing pages as well. Copy, paste, edit...

== Calagator Tips ==
 * [[http://calagator.org/events/search?utf8=✓&query=telco|Search for Telco on Calagator]] to make sure we have [[CalendarOfEvents|upcoming events]] listed!
 * Clone an existing Calagator page ([[http://calagator.org/events/1250462247|PTP Monthly]], [[http://calagator.org/events/1250462246|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.
 * Review Calagator's venue listings for PTP nodes and meeting locations. Add website information, correct inaccuracies, etc.

Calagator

From http://calagator.org/ :

  • "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

Calagator Tips

  • Search for Telco on Calagator to make sure we have upcoming events listed!

  • Clone an existing Calagator page (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.

  • 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!

Weeklies tend to be relaxed and casual. All are welcome!
