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 '''[[SEDSWiki:SIAWG|Space Information Archive Working Group]]''' project page.

==Open Tasks==
'''''[[SEDSWiki:Events/Completed Tasks|Completed Tasks]]'''''
* Move "how to" info to [[Events Help]] and update link in [[Template:Events Header Month]]
* Include process for using [http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pbgOgHz1x_uHuGbWZc23TMg&hl=en 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&amp;lumeetingid=1949 (courtesy: [http://blogs.seds.org/jimvolp Jim Volp] -- added

==HOWTO: Add Events==
To make each event entry have a standard look, a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template template] is used. The template used is [[Template:Events]]. A blank template looks like this:
<pre>
{{Events
|who=
|what=
|when=
|where=
|web=
|info=
}}
</pre>

To use the template in the directory, simply add information in the variables after the equal signs:
<pre>
{{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
}}
</pre>
This will appear as:

{{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
}}

===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 [[User talk:Kittell|Kirk]] or [[User talk:Pradeep|Pradeep]] for access.

The spreadsheet also formats the inputs for inclusion on the [http://forums.seds.org/calendar.php SEDS Forums Calendar] and [http://blogs.seds.org/sedswiki 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; [[User:Kittell|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. --<b><i>Kirk</i></b> ([[User:Kittell|my page]] | [[User talk:Kittell|talk page]]) 13:27, 9 April 2008 (MDT))
