Talks and Photowalks registration 21-22 April

[ed9119]

20+ talks and photowalks on 21-22 April

please discuss rapidly because we are less than 2 weeks from 21 April

going for wedding dinner now ,

 

[ed9119]

if registrations are the way to go then i suggest ONE thread each for each talk to avoid confusion
and for no-shows to be thrown into a blacklist

 

[chngpe01]

Same thoughts.

I suggest the following:

Can Admin help to create a forum for registration and divided into sub forums ie. one for Sat Programs @ Chapel, Programs @ 8Q, Programs @ Moving Image Gallery (MIG), Photowalks adn same for Sun.

Photowalk: Eddie to take charge for all the photowalk threads you may get CSers to help (ask Admin to grant the CS helpers the rights to edit that particular post if possible) :

1 Thread for Sat Morning walk and 1 Thread for Sat Night Walk.

2. Thread for Sun morning walk and 1 Thread afternoon IR walk.

One mod to take charge of registration for Chapel, one for MIG and one for 8Q.


The rules for registration:

1. the 40 CS members who attend the dinner has a first choice - let them have a choice.

2. Can register max 2? talks per day.

3. CS members only, cannot register for friends.

Organiser reserves the rights for refusal, without the need for explanation.

err can put me in touch on the person doing the Night Photowalk ?

for the day time photowalks, I have recruited already the walk mentors and helpers (all CS'ers) so I am GOOD TO GO

We need to figure out how best to display the information

If by talks, it will still be 20+ threads together but 2 sub-forums (walks vs talks)
Alternatively, if we adopt date format, it will be Sat or Sun, we are looking at 15 threads per day but 2 sub-forums
If by location, we can narrow it down to 8 threads per location (4 events per day) but 3 sub-forums

suggestions?

Hmm perplexing problem indeed.

I am more in favor of having all the threads in one sub-section (currently created as 10th Anniversary - Seminars and Photowalks) and using standardised thread naming

eg: Seminar - 21 April @ SAM - 10:30am - Seminar Title
Photowalk - 21 April - 6:30pm - Photowalk Title

Having another level of sub-sections split out the events too much and it may become hard to keep track of updates/changes. As there are only 20 threads in total, all the threads are visible on one page.

To make it more visible, I can create thread prefixes in different colors, similar to how the thread prefixes work in the Travel section:
[Seminar - 21 April] @ SAM - 10:30am - Seminar Title
[Seminar - 22 April] @ MIG - 12:00pm - Seminar Title
[Photowalk - 21 April] @ XYZ - 10:00am - Photowalk Title
[Photowalk - 22 April] @ ZBC - 3:00pm - Photowalk Title

Thoughts?

IF ALL the threads are in ONE page then better STICKY every one of them ...... and create a heirachy of the talks based on TIMING for each day OR based on talk LOCATION ..... so the threads dont jump all over the page

I would rather keep the photowalks to its own seperate thread grouping AWAY from the talks .... less confusing that way

----------------------------------
for example..... just imagine below are the different threads.....

IF ALL the threads are in ONE page then better STICKY every one of them ...... and create a heirachy of the talks based on TIMING for each day OR based on talk LOCATION ..... so the threads dont jump all over the page

The only way to make them stay in order is to make the default sorting on the THREAD CREATION time, not by last post, similar to the way Buy&Sell is organised.

The trick then is to create the threads in the correct order, and seeing that there are three locations at the same time, it would be

10:30 SAM
10:30 SAM@8Q
10:30 MIG
12:00 SAM
12:00 SAM@8Q
12:00 MIG

I would rather keep the photowalks to its own seperate thread grouping AWAY from the talks .... less confusing that way

Hmm okay with this - I can rename then existing subsection and create a new one for walks.

The thread prefixes are created and I have created some test threads - please let me know what the thoughts are on using prefixes.

 

[ed9119]

TOTAL 29 talks and walks going on for 21 and 22 April

edited post #27 above to show a sample of a Date -> Talk Location -> Timing heirachy

a Date -> Timing -> Talk Location heirachy like u showed can also work

[Darren]

Please check out the Walks and Talks sections

Talks - http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/anniversary-talks/

Walks - http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/anniversary-walks/

I have created the placeholder threads in the correct order of display based on the update by Ed.

 

[sebastiansong]

Talks - http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/anniversary-talks/
Walks - http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/anniversary-walks/

I have created the placeholder threads in the correct order of display based on the update by Ed.

I have redirected both post photo walk sharing & RF talk to the Anniversary-walks forum since participants are mainly, if not exclusively from the photowalk

 

[ed9119]

are these threads visible to the community ?

Hi Darren, thanks for the effort...

1. can we begin inserting talk and walk information into the relevant registration threads ?

2. will you set up the eventzilla registration modules or do we do it ourselves ?

please advise.... I cant wait to get started

 

[chngpe01]

Patience, let's meet today and finalise.

D-Day H-hr is scheduled for this Thurs 12 or Fri 13, when all system are ready.

Meanwhile we need to hold some reserve priority space for the 40 Dinner members

See you guys tonight

The threads are not visible to the general community - only Mods and Project Staff at the moment.

1. Yes, please start updating the threads with the relevant information.

2. I will create the Eventzilla links and make them available by tonight for inserting into the relevant threads.

 

[Darren]

By the way, I still need to know the capacity of the three locations to be used.

 

[chngpe01]

We take the capacity as:

Chapel - 110
8Q - 80
MIG - 60

 

[ed9119]

http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/anniversary-walks/ok ALL photowalks write ups are done and uploaded onto Darren's threads here above

just need the eventzilla registration modules to be set up in each thread

Darren, for the Post Photowalk Photosharing at MIG, NO NEED to do eventzilla ..... its going to be packed with participants and walk mentors and rfsg people anyway ..... we will have capacity to take in only extra 10-15 non participants who might want to drop in for a look-see
