@nodeschool/international-day Usually at events we many people use signup pages. It would be good to have meetup/ti.to/doorkeeper/etc. pages for the international-day of each chapter. If done could you post them here or add them to the csv that is part of #19 ?

jeduan commented

Only have used eventbrite and meetup, but seen ti.to in many places. Any advantage of using it or doorkeeper?

martinheidegger commented

Doorkeeper is for free (unlimited size)

finnp commented

Ti.to is free as well and easier to use than meetup.

@martinheidegger am wondering what the need for this is?

@ALL I was planning to ask each chapter to add its attendees to the international-day team and then use the api to render an attendee rollcall on the website. I figure this is a much easier approach.

As were getting closer to the day, I think we should focus on adding structure to the day. We need to flesh out the participating guide and distribute it to each chapter who has listed in.

iancrowther commented

we could/should setup an international-day-2015 team to keep the rollcall clean

Hey guys,

FWIW, regarding the Paris chapter:

• We use Meetup (I'll open the sign-up this weekend, we've got a loooong
waiting list already)

• We plan on a "normal" NodeSchool day, as per the 2 previous ones (Feb
21, Apr 11), in the spirit of the original NS: free day where attendees
come with laptops (or pair up) and get to discover Node/JS through
tackling NodeSchool-listed workshops with the help of ~6 mentors and
other attendees.

We provide free top-notch catering, too, and some structure to it all
(detailed intro, get-started demo, list of intros to all existing
workshops, etc.).

We try to make this happen every 6 weeks or so, always on a Saturday,
always at Mozilla Paris.

Best,

Christophe Porteneuve

@iancrowther Well, the meeting places we have are usually at an address. Occasionally they might to be hard to find but always its good to know them :) Usually those sites have a section regarding access that makes the place easier to find. The spaces usually have a limited amount of space. Knowing how many people can attend makes thing easier for the attendees. The organisers have to be at that place from a certain time until a certain time in my understanding: The event pages usually also have a sort of agenda that allows attendees to know when a person will be at the place (and when they plan to be out for lunch)

For future events it might be worth trying yaml (or whatever) and PRs to enrol and collect this data? It seems to cut down on the admin effort at SusHack (http://sushack.co.uk/ and https://github.com/sushack/sushack.github.io/tree/master/_data).

martinheidegger commented

@spikeheap We now have a script that collects the data, which means we should have only little overhead from now on, but I agree: this can be handled better.

spikeheap commented

@martinheidegger, that sounds cool, I'd love to see it/them. We use meetup.com at the moment, but I'd love to just organise all our events through GH.

martinheidegger commented

(@blakmatrix copied just for the script)

a0viedo commented

@martinheidegger we just confirmed the venue, the event registration link will be up within the next few days.

martinheidegger commented

FYI: I have sent out a emails (using my freshly published emailjs-cli), about.com messages, skype requests and a twitter message to start gathering all the links to the events.

martinheidegger commented

@awaterma Thanks: I edited your text to fit our scraping script 😛 moved link to enrollment. Cheers!

afronski commented

@bajtos I've removed notes after your enrollment entry (because of scraping script 😉) - there is no problem with other services.

afronski commented

@mcollina Thanks: I edited your text to fit our scraping script. 😛 Cheers!

mcollina commented

Ouch! :D

cronopio commented

We don't need any advance manage of information so we (Pereira Chapter) are going to use our website, nodeschool.io/pereira (under construction, hope push something tonight) and google forms and spreadsheets to manage the reservations.

max-mapper commented

OK only events with signup pages show up on the new globe site: http://nodeschool.io/globe/

so make sure and post your signup page here so it will show up on the globe!

the globe will get updated whenever the enrollment scraper gets run and then the CSV from that gets checked into gh-pages of this repo

martinheidegger commented

@timoxley Didn't realise that Campjs is a signup site.

martinheidegger commented

@julianduque Found your site!

martinheidegger commented

@No9 Found Dublin.

martinheidegger commented

@Sequoia found Western Mass

Sequoia commented

the google calendar should have all of this info.

martinheidegger commented

Which Google calendar are you talking about?

keokilee commented

Honolulu (Hawaii): https://www.facebook.com/events/387996224729628/

Sorry for the delay!

llkats commented

San Francisco (California): https://ti.to/nodeschoolsf/international-day-may-23rd

Many apologies as well for the delay!

iancrowther commented

Enrollment has now closed.

Chapters who have not setup up a registration page inc start/finish times will not be included in the minifilm, day stats and rollcall.

We have a LOT to manage now and cant chase everyone for details as we need to prepare the day.

Many thanks to everyone so far for their contributions, please take a look at the issues and chip in. We really need your help in the run up to the event.

I realize this is late, but here for posterity anyways.

iancrowther commented

@jonotron @kytwb your all good..

iancrowther commented

@Sequoia blimey.. is the form still alive?

Sequoia commented

@iancrowther
Yeah, and it's driving the event map :)

If you're organizing a NodeSchool event, add it to this site by filling out this form.

martinheidegger commented

The google spreadsheet (not calendar!) is still intact, but since there is no direct relationship between event entry and chapter I didn't ask to put the sign up page there. In fact I think i will send a short PR there :)

iancrowther commented

@Sequoia ah yes of course.. thanks for pointing that out :-)

iancrowther commented

Many thanks to everyone who collaborated here
