Although there have been no in-person events for the past year (b/c of COVID-19 dear future people), maybe someday those will reappear. In the meantime, virtual events are usually open to whomever registers for it (and wants added to a mailing list). It’s both a drag and an opportunity.
Is it worthwhile to have a forum, subforum per software, or even Off Topic place like Sell/Buy, for CAD Events? Is it easier to just hope that people include “Event: _____” as their post topic? That never works for everyone, though I like it. It could already fit within your current topic branches, or have its own place.
I am certainly not looking to replicate any of the functions of SWUGN within the previous forum, as that is clearly theirs to maintain and for us to refer to. Naturally, anything in an Event Forum would be time sensitive and could even have a scheduled deletion like 30 days after the event, or not.
Maybe just a Calendar. We can add Towel Day, Tau Day, Pi Day and clears throat loudly World. I don’t know what is easiest.
