How To Add An Event

To add an event to the IndieWeb Events Listing:

1. Log in to the wiki
2. Visit https://events.indieweb.org and click "Add an Event"
3. Complete the required information, adding as much detail about the event as possible

In addition:

• For conferences with IndieWeb talks, or related meetups like micro.blog
  1. Clone an existing event page for a conference (e.g. Beyond Tellerrand)
  2. Edit the event name, dates & times, venue location
  3. Remove inapplicable content like tags, description, etc
  4. Edit as necessary, and save!

• For Homebrew Website Club (HWC) events:
  1. Ensure you've added the hwc tag to the event
  2. Make sure you RSVP to the event you're (co-)organizing, by either clicking the "I'm Going" button or posting an indie RSVP
  3. Ideally also:
     • Create an indie event on your own site for the HWC for your city, ideally with invitations to people that have previously participated.
     • POSSE that indie event to one or more applicable event silos/commons of your choice (e.g. Calagator, Facebook)
     • Add those URLs to the section for your city
     • Be sure to have Bridgy or some other backfeed setup to receive RSVPs from the silo copy/copies to your indie event.
     • Invite folks on the silo/silos you POSSEd to, to the POSSE copy/copies.

Previous steps that have been automated or are no longer necessary!

• Update Main_Page with the new event
  • Automated by Kaja!
• Update the IRC /topic (or ask an admin) to link to that next HWC (assuming that is the next one)
  • Unnecessary because the /topic now always links to next-hwc!
• Update the Sidebar text (or ask an admin to do so) with the list of cities
  • Unnecessary because we have stopped listing the HWC cities in the sidebar

Jump on IRC, find folks near you, and plan an IndieWeb event/drinkup/dinner/meetup/hackathon/camp together.

More IndieWebCamp events are also being planned!

Why

Why do we use this page for events?

Some of the benefits of using the wiki for events include:

• There is no fixed template for events, so we are able to add new sections to the event page as needed
• The layout of event pages has evolved over time as our needs have changed

Issues

Main article: Organizers#Events_Issues

Brainstorming

Main article: Organizers#Events_Brainstorming

We need to make section or link to the how-to organize events from the events page. I would make a sidebar section for events and put Organize an Event there as well or just add it above sponsor
