acme.bike is currently being moved to a new server
It's still on the old one at the moment, but can still be accessed.
May I suggest things like the forward planned events are added on there? That's what it's for...
Seen jibers note about FORWARD PLANNING is now onna Google colander?
Yes, that's exactly what I saw! My point is, what's the point of having a website if we're not going to use it?
I think there's a couple of points for me here - from using them, both have there place I think.
The website events are fine for more organised events we wish to publicly advertise and attract people to, it takes a bit of time to add stuff to an event from the ones I tried but worth it for a permanent and organised event - a bit like Wilkieboys camaudax approach. They are a bit harder to keep updated if things change. Adding events probably gets easier with familiarity, but they need to be owned by someone to put them on and keep them updated (between us we haven't broached this subject yet)
For our MEMWNS sessions, doddle to add to the calendar, even a default event length of 2 hours helped ease the cut and paste pain from OD's document, The added plus of a mpa for the location helps too - it integrates in to my personal calendars so I would have done this for myself anyway, but a central location helps spread the load and might prove value for others. A few of us have the ability to add, modify events plus share with people - the key organisers of such events (i.e. Velodrome, pubs fwd planning, coffee, bivi) We play cat and mouse with the locations depending on where we sit in terms of conformist or anarchistic tendencies - so they are 'fluid' suggestions. There might also be some concern about pre-advertising where we are going to stash our lovely bikes for a couple of hours at night, so restricted distribution and announcement in here might feel safer.
Whilst I am in ACME thoughts mode, can I ask people to get busy on twitter posting stuff and tagging @acme_essex - I am running out of content to post, there's only so much I can content I can generate myself
Quite a few of us have twitter accounts, if you are out and about, perhaps a pic and a tweet will help increase our presence if I RT it.
ETA: Goes without saying, but appropriate content for @ACME_Essex
so no big knockers or RT and win posts etc... vaguely audax/bike related would be great !
