LOCAL ORGANIZERS:
HOW TO GET YOUR LOCATION LISTED
HOW TO KEEP FREESKLYAROV.ORG UP TO DATE

(this is for our own sustainability, folks, unless you can get me a staff of 3 right away)

1

We will link to ONE authoritative local home page for any location on earth, as follows:

freesklyarov.org/(locale) (for example http://freesklyarov.org/seattle/)

and/or (if you want it and your server can handle it)

(locale).freesklyarov.org (for example, http://seattle.freesklyarov.org/)
which can include an MX record for e-mail

2

For an event, definitely send the announcement to calendar@freesklyarov.org with the date and what the event is.

If other details are in there, that's fine, but we don't have a forum for them just now. We will include it on the "upcoming events" at the top of the first page. We are not running a massive multiuser calendar system, so you MUST post your event DETAILS to your local home page (where they should be ANYWAY!!). We will point to the home page from the event listing, people will see it, they'll show up at your #bash.

This is all we can handle at this time. The local organization needs to stay local. Having a local home page that we can point to is very important if you want people to stay up to date with what you are doing.

We ask all local organizers to prominently point back to freesklyarov.org so that people who find your local info first can also get the overall info that we are pointing to... including for example, people from some other locality who find your site and want to find their own organizers.

Key contact addresses:
CALENDAR updates: calendar@freesklyarov.org
PRESS and announcements that you think we should post: press@freesklyarov.org
TECHNICAL MATTERS: tech@freesklyarov.org
OTHER: free@freesklyarov.org

Please remember that everyone working on this site is losing time from work, play or thesis writing, and many if not all are also involved in local organizing (no surprise) so we will do the best we can, but can promise no more than that.
