How To Add An Event

To add an event to the IndieWeb Events Listing:

edit this page
copy paste one of the event templates in the source into the correct most-recent-first spot in the Upcoming list above!

In addition:

For conferences with IndieWeb talks, or related meetups like micro.blog
1. Edit and copy from an existing event page for a conference (e.g. 2019 BTConf) or related meetup (e.g. (2019 micro.blog at WWDC)
2. Create a new event permalink page for it
3. Paste what you copied from that existing event page
4. Edit the event name, dates & times, venue location
5. Remove inapplicable content like previous blog posts, photos
6. Preview, edit as necessary, and save!

For Homebrew Website Club (HWC) events:
1. Add it to Template:Homebrew Website Club (if it‘s an unusual / off-rhythm date)
2. Create the event permalink page for it (copy paste from a previous HWC permalink page) if necessary
  - Ensure the venue in the h-event has a p-location property with h-card so that it will appear in the this-week newsletter
3. Add yourself to the RSVP on that page for the city you’re (co-)organizing
4. Update the next-hwc, Events wiki pages with the new event info
5. 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

Don't see an IndieWeb event near you? Plan one and add it here!
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!

Want to help out with one of those? Say something in IRC and add yourself to the event page.

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
