Tyler,<br>
Is it possible to add extra fields into the feed?<br>
<br>
Information I think we should have:<br>
<br>
* Event Name<br>
* Start<br>
* End<br>
* Location<br>
* URL of Conference<br>
* OSGeoAttending? (Yes, No, Undecided)<br>
Note, it is important to list big non-Open GeoSpatial conferences
so we can avoid clashing dates<br>
* OSGeoWikiURL for this conference<br>
<br>
And what is the process for adding events to the RSS feed source? I
can add some items.<br>
<br>

<div>What is required by event organisers, and the
osgeo-live team, is a chronological list of upcoming
events. To achieve this currently from the wiki, you
would need to dig through 20 or so web pages, which is
not practical.<br>
<br>
The RSS feed of events at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://osgeo.org/">http://osgeo.org</a> looks
promising, if we can have all potential events listed
via that RSS feed.<br>
I assume we'd be able to assign categories to the
feed?<br>
Eg: have: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://osgeo.org/rss_events?category=proposed">http://osgeo.org/rss_events?category=proposed</a><br>
<br>
What options do we have available to us for the RSS
feed?<br>

We've kept the current events listing on <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://osgeo.org/news">osgeo.org/news</a>
to only include events pertaining to open source or where
OSGeo will be present (more or less). We could add a
field to the new event form then filter using it for the
rss feed (or for a new feed). I think we have good
flexibility on this front! We'd have to open up the
ability for more folks to add to the list of events. </div>

</div>
<div>I can take a crack at it.</div>

<div>Done - the ability to enter a 'proposed' flag is built in
now. A separate feed as also available:</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.osgeo.org/events/feed/proposed">http://www.osgeo.org/events/feed/proposed</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now who will be adding the events? </div>
