announcing Sprints can be sponsored would need a full article by itself, I guess
we could repeat it as a pointer in the following newsletter
Nÿco
pep. wiki page in Events, of course, I forgot that, sorry
not sure what you mean by "separate from SCAM"
pep.
for*
pep.
As in,
pep.
hmm, I guess my question was rather "why do we create these event pages in the first place", and why not say link directly from xmpp.org to the conference website for example (some of these events pages are rather empty just with a sentence about the event)

I still don't get it

> "why do we create these event pages in the first place"
who's "we"?
what are "event pages"?
Nÿco
so, I guess you are talking about the wiki
I also guess that your classification work is awesome
there may be some more work to do
like the POSS page I have created is nowhere: I didn't know where to create it or what category to add
https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Summits_Conferences_And_Meetups_team/POSS
also, I observe that there is no "Events" pages on the xmpp.org website

I think the wiki pages are useful for community members, and attendees who need to know details (meeting places, venue addresses, transport options, room sharing, etc.)
MattJ
I think they aren't the ideal pages to lead with for marketing an event (unless it is aimed purely at inner members of the community)

I think the same
the website and our social media are here to attract, explain, raise the awareness, etc.
the wiki is an "internal" tool
creating "Events" pages on the website would need a quite strict maintenance routine

pep.
well until now we've been linking from the website to wiki pages for events we go to
pep.
Not saying this is good or bad, but maybe we should have guidelines
pep.
"we" is anybody I've seen updating community/events.html for example
Nÿco
yeah, so maybe there is room for improvement here...
pep.
btw, re sprint before POSS, I'll arrive on monday in the evening I think, so maybe not for me. (The event is on tuesday iirc)
