View source for How to create an event

== Questions to answer first ==
* What is the topic? (i.e. Coding Night, Cryptoparty, Talk, Workshop, ...)
* What is the target? (i.e. Fixme members, extern people, adults, children, ...)
* What resources are required? (i.e. the hackerspace, electronics tools, electronics parts, ...)
* Who can help me to organise? (i.e. things can be done faster/easier if you not try to do it alone)

== Plan the event ==
* Create a wiki page using the [[Project_template|project template]].
* Get/Order the resources to be sure to get it on time.
* Check the Fixme Event calendar to find possible dates for the event.
* Open a doodle and spread the word on the mailing list (and IRC, weekmail, twitter, facebook, ...).
* Select the most popular date (yes, it's obvious, I know...) 

== Communicate about the event ==
* Think about a poster to promote your event (There is a poster template for Fixme events).
* Once the date is known: 
** spread the info on the mailing list,
** update the wiki page with this date,
** update the topic on #Fixme IRC chan,
** create an event on the Fixme Facebook page,
** post the event and date on Twitter,
** prepare a short description for the weekmail.
