Mine was a question for the organizers ;-) From now on there is nothing specific to the sprint above, but more about how to notify the Debian Events Team of upcoming sprints and how to properly show them. >> BTW, please also consider that space as the "official" announcement, >> given that it provides more than lists.d.o (e.g. an .ics file). > > That's really cool!

Basically, the Events Team is already tracking most of the possible announcement locations (a lot, including mailing lists, blogs, wikis), so we should miss very few "events". However, Francesca Ciceri prepared a wiki template for event submissions which actually reflects the www.d.o/events format and the simplest solution would probably be to use the same template for sprints: <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/#Adding_a_new_event> Please note that we already started to fix #657297, i.e. we announced on www.d.o/events something which is not really an "event", e.g.: <http://www.debian.org/events/2012/0924-guaiba> Mostly because of my not-taking-the-time-for-this, Francesca's patch in #657297 about the separation between talk and events has not been applied yet. The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that I am not completely sure about the need for such a separation (sorry, Francesca). The easiest solution would be to simply prefix the type of event in the title, as we are already doing for BSPs: general event -> (everything done as now) BSP -> Debian BSP at LOCATION talk -> Talk: TALK_TITLE sprint -> GROUP Sprint at LOCATION irc -> GROUP IRC meeting at CHANNEL GROUP could be "Debian Med", "DebConf Team" or even "W3C", in case it would not be a Debian-centered "event". If we go down this road, however, we could probably need a way to generate extra pages, e.g.: <http://www.debian.org/events/talks> Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
