What's up with Calagator

[Audrey Eschright]

Hi everyone, it’s been a couple of years since there was any traffic on these mailing lists, but since people are still subscribed, I’d like to use it to check in. I’m crossposting to both the pdx-tech-calendar and calagator-development lists.

I’m starting to do some maintenance work on Calagator so we can look at those future steps that have been discussed for a while. That’s things like easier deployment, timezone support, modernizing the UX.

I’m looking for community support to make it happen, and you can read about that here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/next-steps-for-22293463

In terms of the mailing lists, I’m wondering if we should close pdx-tech-calendar to new signups since it’s mostly a spam magnet. I don’t want to close off discussions of calagator.org and its continued development and support, though. Telling everyone to file a bug in GitHub is not the most accessible. What are your thoughts?

For the developer side of it, maybe GitHub is ok. We also have a rarely-used IRC channel on Freenode, and I could add some documentation for that. Or we just make a plan for regular check-ins on the calagator-development list?

One more Portland-specific piece: I’d like to have a State of the Calagator meeting to talk to local users. Does anyone have a spot to host?

Hoping this doesn’t go into everyone’s spam filters,

Audrey

Though I don't use it much, I'm happy to contribute to the best of my (limited) ability.

Thanks everyone. I think the big things right now are:

Help get the word out. After being dormant this long, it’s going to take some work to re-engage the community.

Document the use cases for Calagator outside Portland (what sorts of communities are interested? what would a successful deployment look like? what resources do they have for maintenance?)

After that, planning a meeting! Anselm mentioned that PNCA might be able to host, and I have a couple of ideas about code schools and companies. Ideally we’d have an easy way to livestream it. Reid isn’t in Portland but I’d like him to be able to participate.
