Great idea.

While I still want to know if we still need to fill information in many separate wiki pages, like[1] for all events and [2] for release parties? Trying to remember update all these different wiki pages seems not make too much sense if we will fill the information into the calendar.

[1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events
[2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F25_release_events

I do agree with your idea. The problem is we Ambassadors only care about
participating on events and not generating the proper statistics of
those (you know, learned lessons).

Having the creation of the calendar event as a requirement for the
approval would not harm the Ambassador but fortify our output to the
project.

    Hi All,

    I noticed that we have an events calendar in fedocal[0].  It appears to
    contain one event and that event is misfiled[1].

    Where do regions post all of the events Fedora will be participating in?

    I get asked, A LOT, whether Fedora will be at event X or Y.  It would be
    great to have a place where we could easily see all of the events we are
    participating in.  In an idea world, I see something like this:

    <2 ltr country code> - Event Name - City
    Date(s)
    Description:
    Fedora Speaker or Booth or whatever
    For details see this wiki page and/or contact this person

    We could use this data to improve our marketing and to improve our
    coordination across the project.

    I believe it would be reasonable to ask that event owners be required to
    create this calendar event as part of getting their event approved by
    Ambassadors.  What do you think?

    regards,

    bex

    1: I've emailed the event owner and asked them to move it.  I am worried
    they are not active anymore.


Just for the record. We had, as long as we had fedoraproject.org, a section of the most important Fedora events in all regions. Initially these were always up to date, but later on they were outdated.
We decided to take them over to the wiki, as the wiki is editable by any contributor (not true anymore either), but we now have a page for Events and for Release events, that is true.
With other ambassadors we discussed this issue during the first FLOCK, but we should be able to have this function in the Ambassadors HUB page.
Bex's input is right, the function inside HUBs will work only if we make the calendar entry mandatory for all event owners.
