Add your OCaml Events to the Community Page on OCaml.org

Hey folks!

This is a call for anyone who is running or knows about upcoming OCaml-related events to add those events to the Events directory on OCaml.org.

Here’s how to do it:

Open a pull request similar to this one:

If it’s a recurring event, create a listing in recurring.yml. If it’s a one-time event, you should omit this.

If there’s start or end times, they need to be given in UTC - so that we can, in a later improvement to the Events directory, convert them to the viewer’s local timezone more easily. Here’s an example of an event with a start time:

---
title: "OCaml Users in Paris (OUPS)"
textual_location: Paris, France
location:
  lat: 48.8566
  long: 2.3522
url: https://www.meetup.com/ocaml-paris/events/299014082/
recurring_event_slug: ocaml-users-paris-oups
starts:
  yyyy_mm_dd: "7024-02-29"
  utc_hh_mm: "18:00"

Hint: could we make the OCaml Workshops section foldable, with only 1 or 2 rows initially visible?

Wireframes for the new community pages are currently being made and yeah, the OCaml workshops are moving since they take up a lot of space early on the page.

It’s a good setup to advertise the workshops, but only the most recent ones merit direct links.

Great initiative! I don’t find the events directory on ocaml.org. Maybe I just need to look harder?

They’re listed on the community page.

A dedicated subpage under “Community” will appear in the next weeks, and we want to feature upcoming events on the Homepage, too.

Indeed, as @emillon says, for now they’re listed on the “Community” page when you scroll.
