== Getting involved ==

 * [[https://www.debian.org/events/|event organisation]]
 * we are currently seeking people following the Hispano American and/or North American mailing lists and willing to join the team.

== Guidelines for events organization and promoting ==

 * create a specific wiki page for the event you're organizing:
   * for [[BSP|Bug Squashin Parties]] please use this [[BSP/Template|template]]
   * for conferences and similar events, please read [[https://www.debian.org/events/checklist|the checklist for a booth]]
   * for [[DebianDay|Debian Day]] please use this [[DebianDayTemplate|template]]

 * announce the event to the [[https://www.debian.org/events/eventsmailinglists|appropriate mailing list]]
 * if you want to have your event also listed on the next Debian Project News issue, please announce it also on the Debian publicity mailing list: debian-publicity@lists.debian.org


## == How it works... ==

## * ...the [[/UpcomingEvents|addition of events]] to the Debian website? ('''for Team members only!''')


== TODO ==

A little draft of things todo (contact the team if you want to help!):

 * RSS feed for upcoming events listed at www.debian.org/events
 * contact people of DUG and LocalGroups asking them to provide info if they organize a Debian-related event
 * collect useful promoting materials (see, for instance: http://lists.debian.org/debian-publicity/2012/02/msg00062.html). Having someone able to do promotional videos (also for !DebConf) would be great!
 * find volunteer for editing the events paragraph on DPN (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-publicity/2012/01/msg00014.html)
