View source for Events

If you want to add a new event enter the title of the event below. It will then be added as a subpage of Events. If an event with the same title already exists you will be asked to edit this page. Therefor try to make the title of the event unique (for instance instead of "Middleearth User Group Meeting" write "5th Middleearth User Group Meeting" or "Middleearth User Group Meeting - Spring 2014").

In the form that comes up enter a one or two sentence summary of the event. This will appear on the title page and is limited in size so make sure that it gives a good summary that will interest people. The long text can be as long as you want to. It will be visible when the full event is viewed. The date of the event is used to sort the list of news. An optional end date as well as an URL to the page of the event (if it exists) can be specified. Specification of a location is mandatory.
