[CIMC-work] RE: Calendaring events---and publishing for Chicago Indymedia

[Elizabeth Fraser]

The calendar system (for both staging and main caledars)is acting up
right now--I've been having trouble moving items this morning--if you
could try again a bit later.  The events decisions are made by the
editorial group and usually come from issues that are closes to the core
issues--unlike the calendar which is pretty wide open. I will forward
along to the working-group or perhaps Ian will have a better answer.

hey elizabeth and ian.  thanks for your help.  i'm trying to post an
event to the calendar, but the "staging calendar" is not responding.  if
there's any way we could get it up on the general calendar as well as
the center column of the front page, that would be excellent.  i've
posted the event
at:
http://chicago.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=31116&group=webcast

here is the entire text of the announcement.  thanks so much.

**SKIP OUT OF WORK EARLY**

Friday, October 3, 4-6pm
Protest at the British Consulate
400 N. Michigan Ave.

Time and time again, the SHAC campaign has taken out HLS's most
vitalcpillars of support - only to have these victories snatched away by
thecBritish government. From driving away HLS's bank, to pushing down
the world's largest insurance broker, SHAC HAS ALREADY WON NUMEROUS
TIMES only to have the British government step in and provide these
services!

Remind the British government that they were among the first victories
of this campaign, selling their shares hastily and running with their
tail between their legs. We've beaten them once and we'll do it again if
necessary. SHAC will not stand for corporate welfare to HLS!

So long as its in the Chicago, sure.  I believe the calendar has
instructions on it.  If you want to be in the events panel at the top of
the center column, you should write an article for the newswire
describing the event, location, time, etc.  Then email us a link to that
article and we can put up a one-line summary with the link in the events
panel.  It should only go up there about a week before the event, but
you can post the article to the newswire anytime.
