I was talking with (that is, “emailing”) Sara Dornsife<\/a> today and I said,<\/p>\n

\n[P]ut an entry into upcoming.org<\/a>. The brat-pack<\/a>, uber-geeks all
\nuse this already, and they’ve been mentioning it on TWiT<\/a> recently…meaning that people are scanning it.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In looking through Adobe’s events page<\/a> — after seeing that Scott Fegette was presenting something in Austin on Sep. 12th and thinking<\/a>, “hey, I’m in Austin, why wasn’t I there” (granted, I was out of town<\/a>) — I thought, “why isn’t this all just pumped into upcoming? I guess I’ll have to add interesting things myself<\/a>. Ugh.”<\/p>\n

I’ve gone through several “event” pages at vendors recently looking for events going on in Austin. I’ve had pleasant success with the Oracle Developer Days in Austin<\/a>: they’re great for studying up on Oracle’s offerings. Of course, being an RSS nut, I hate actually having to go to a bunch of different web-sites for the same type<\/i> of content. I’d rather go to one web-site for the same type of content (events), even if that content is from different, competing people.<\/p>\n

So, capturing what might be some “tacit advice”: if you’re running events, I highly suggest you take the 2-5 minutes it takes to put it into upcoming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
