2:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Working session; calendar
Creating a global calendar on Make Community to help meetup & WordCamp/WordPress Event organizer pick the best dates for their events.
What is the best date for my event, is something many event organizers struggle with. With this calendar, we aim to help them understand when important holidays and events are, so that they can keep this in mind when planning their events.
To create this calendar, we’ll need input from people from as many different religions, cultures, and countries as possible, and those who are great (online) researchers.
