Re: Event coverage on website

Is there anywhere on the site that has coverage of past events? ISTM
there should be...

We don't.

What are you referring to? An archive of what's listed under events, or you
mean actual texts about the events?

As for archive of listed events, I'm not really sure how it helps. But
since you're Nasby, you probably have a use-case for it?

If you mean texts about them, we generally have archives at the event sites
and planetpostgresql.org - not sure what we'd migrate. Though I notice
conference.postgresql.org is still down and has been for a long time -
perhaps we should just remove the DNS record for it if it's not going to be
used?

Didnt realize my php upgrade broke that too, should be fixed now.

In this case, I wanted photos from the conferences; particularly the
group photos. Luckily, Flicr and Berkus came to the rescue there.

But we should also keep things like presentations and what-not
available. I know conferences have their own websites, but ISTM we
should at least link to them from somewhere on PostgreSQL.org.

The other thing I wanted was general advocacy items, such as graphics
I could use. Likewise, it would be good to have a single collection
of advocacy presentations that are available for use.

Group photos we have, but just no page bringing them together. Hey, why
don't you make up a page or set of pages to stick under /community and
we'll commit them for you? ;-)

We have a lot of presentations on techdocs -

Graphics has it's own project on pgfoundry, IIRC.

Yeah, it would be great to be able to go somewhere and easily get the
summit picture with the names tooltips, and the PGCon photo, etc. Did
the PGDay photo ever get labelled that way?

Agreed. If someone comes up with a suggestion.. ;-)

No. I got sidetracked :-( I should get back to it and fix that.

And who's going to continue to maintain them? You?

Why, you, of course ;-)

Anyway. If the content is in a way that's maintainable, it should be
possible to maintain it the same way as the rest of the web - people
providing patches (hopefully - or just describing content-changing that
one of us webmonkeys can turn into a patch) as they see need.
