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

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 (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!
