[Please read][Instructions] How to add a new event

[Pierros Papadeas]

Hello Reps!

It's been 2 days now that we have the new events system.

We completely abandoned the wiki for events, and we will be porting
the old ones soon enough. Wiki will be used only for SOPs moving
forward and we are updating the forms and SOPs to reflect that.

Here is what you should do to create new events:

- Go to reps.mozilla.org/events
- Click on "Create event" button up right
- Complete all fields required. A few notes:
-- Times and dates are local to event (system takes care for everything else)
-- Point the venue to map to the best of your knowledge.
-- Use the hashtag as uniquely as possible (and start tweeting and
uploading to flickr using it!)
-- Write down all extra info in "Additional Info" using Markdown
syntax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown)
-- Make extra sure that you complete the metrics of the event
- Click "Save event"
- Voila!

The "Sign up form" is intended to be used as follows:
- You are in an event and having a booth.
- You dedicate a laptop/tablet/etc (or pop it up when needed) and
navigate throught the Sign up form link from the event page.
- The participants of the event that are interested to get involved in
Mozilla signup using this.
- Then automatically the sign-up counter increases!
- We have nice metrics :)
NOTE: The signup form is not yet ready, and I will send out a mail when it is.

This is a video walk-through of creating an event, so please watch it
and make sure you understood all different parts of the process:

Please make sure to ask any questions you have regarding our new
functionality, and keep an eye for our next version with much more
features!

Have fun and cool events with our new system!

Cheers,

Pierros

Very useful, thanks for that. For the pad functionality, I am wondering if
we should add a sub-domain for events so instead of using
etherpad.mozilla.org/<event> we could have reps.etherpad.mozilla.org/
<event>?

Hi all,
I would like to know if events already entered on Mozilla Wiki need to be
re-created on Reps events page?

No, these will be automatically ported over sometime in Q3.

remo.etherpad.mozilla.org pads (and all group pads) cannot be created
unless you have an account in the specific group.
This is a current restriction from Etherpad unfortunately.
So we ended up creating etherpad.mozilla.org/remo-<event> pads.

Hi Pierros:

Nice updated events system. i've noted the following issues, pls advise:

1. When creating a new event, there are tooltips. but all the tooltips are
appearing outside the screen (either leftside/ rightside). So seeing only
one/two characters of the tooltip in my 1024x768 pixel.

2. In "Region" field, a dropdown selection (APAC, EMEA, NA, LATAM) would be
preferable. Now ReMo's are inserting as per they wish -
e.g.
Asia: https://reps.mozilla.org/e/sfd2012/
Visayas Region: https://reps.mozilla.org/e/software-freedom-day-cebu-2012/
London: https://reps.mozilla.org/e/mozilla-festival-2012/
Central: https://reps.mozilla.org/e/mozcomug-anniversary/
Andhra Pradesh: https://reps.mozilla.org/e/moz-interaction/

direct to that link,it is bug or we need to add link at there?

Indeed only once hashtag can be used for ease of use.

Thanks for reporting Chit, this is a known problem and we are already
working on it with WebDev team. Will keep you updated.

While the get involved form is supposed to work as a counter for how many
people came on-board to contributing to Mozilla from an event, a public
event participation sign up will also be a good-to-have thing for events
(the only sign up feature for now is for reps to sign up for their
participation at different events)

Thanks Kinshuk for the suggestion!

We are actually exploring a way for non-reps to sign up for the event,
and this will be extremely helpful when the codebase of our events
manager system becomes events.mozilla.org
