SEDSWiki:Events
From SEDSWiki
Listing of all world events in 2009
2008 --- Jan - Feb - Mar - Apr - May - Jun - Jul - Aug - Sep - Oct - Nov - Dec --- 2010
Welcome to the project page for the SEDSWiki Events directory.
Do you want to help us locate and list events for the directory? Please join the team at the Space Information Archive Working Group project page.
Open Tasks
- Move "how to" info to Events Help and update link in Template:Events Header Month
- Include process for using Space Events Google Spreadsheet for add events.
- More portals to project page from individual region/month pages (else, how will visitors know how to help?)
Add These Events
These events have not yet been added to the directory--please add them:
- http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=230&lumeetingid=1949 (courtesy: Jim Volp -- added
HOWTO: Add Events
To make each event entry have a standard look, a template is used. The template used is Template:Events. A blank template looks like this:
{{Events
|who=
|what=
|when=
|where=
|web=
|info=
}}
To use the template in the directory, simply add information in the variables after the equal signs:
{{Events
|who=SEDS-USA
|what=SpaceVision2007
|when=9-12 November
|where=MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
|web=http://spacevision.seds.org
|info=annual national conference of SEDS-USA
}}
This will appear as:
9-12 November. SEDS-USA: SpaceVision2007Info: annual national conference of SEDS-USA
Via Google Spreadsheets
The following Google Spreadsheet will create the template code above based on inputs that you provide: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pbgOgHz1x_uHuGbWZc23TMg&hl=en. However, you need permissions to access it; send a message to Kirk or Pradeep for access.
The spreadsheet also formats the inputs for inclusion on the SEDS Forums Calendar and SEDSWiki Updates blog.
One other feature of the spreadsheet: it saves the information so that it could be used as a database later. My guess is that someone with MySQL experience could make a good system for adding/editing/posting events; I don't know how to do that, I just find the info.
List of Sources
For Reference Only
(It seems rude to just go to another compilation calendar and re-list the events they have gathered, i.e., to go to the SpaceRef calendar and copy all of the events to the wiki. I think there is more integrity in finding events from other sources -- especially the organizations that are hosting the events -- and listing them here. --Kirk (my page | talk page) 13:27, 9 April 2008 (MDT))
