[ug-discuss] The talks & presentations page needs some love

[Tim Foster]

Hi all,

I'm writing to ask for some help - we've got a talks & presentations
page at:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/os-presentations/

which pretty much hasn't been updated since Sept. 2006 (co-incidentally,
the same time my daughter was born, can you tell I've had my hands
full! :-)

Would the leaders of the various OpenSolaris user groups have a spare
few minutes to update this page for their meetings held since Sept? I
started updating the page this morning, but realised that this just
isn't scaling very well across the 48 or so user-groups that exist...

I know that all of the user-groups have their own pages, and do maintain
their own lists of presentations, but I still think it's worthwhile
having a page of links like this in one place.


The format for each entry is simple - one table row per presentation,
html formatted thus:

--
<tr>
	<td>1st January 1970</td>
	<td><a href="http://presenter-links">Ken & Dennis</a>
	        present <em>UNIX</em>
	</td>
	<td><a
href="http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/yourosug/">MYOSUG</a>
	</td>
	<td>
		<a href="http://slides-link">slides</a> + 
	        <a href="http://photos-link">photos</a> + 
		<a href="http://video-link">etc.</a>
	</td>
	<td class="topic">[Keyword]</td>
</tr>
--

The keyword can be anything, just have a look to see if there's existing
an keyword that covers your topic before creating a new one (the idea
being, that since the list uses sortable tables, we sort by keyword and
quickly find talks related to each other)

Anyway, if you can help keep that page updated, that'd be really
excellent - thanks!


	cheers,
