We are so excited that your group is affiliated with Techlahoma! Here are some things to know about being a part of Techlahoma, including some requirements and expectations. Feel free to bookmark this repository for reference as you maintain and grow your group.
Please note that we use Meetup for creating and managing events. Meetup allows us to carefully track the number of Oklahomans each of the groups reaches, which in turn helps us know where to focus our efforts. If you are unfamiliar with Meetup, please read our Meetup instructions.
Techlahoma uses a Slack channel to communicate. We definitely recommend you join to meet other usergroup leaders and ask (and answer!) questions. Please specifically join the #usergroup-organizers channel. This is where usergroup specific announcements are made and where any questions for the user group committee can be answered. Feel free to ask questions!
Please add your group to the appropriate folder in the user-groups repository on GitHub. If your group is already documented, please make sure everything in up-to-date.
We have a few requirements for your meetup.
-
Avoid recurring events
We have automation in place that schedules tweets and opens issues, and recurring events don't play nicely with our automation. -
Schedule all meetings at least 7 days in advance
Please make sure the event is created on meetup at least 7 days in advance. There are a few reasons for this, including our automation and generally making sure space is available. It's also nice for your attendees to be able to know when and where the next meeting will be with enough planning time. Meetup automatically announces your meeting 7 days before it occurs to your members as well.
Thank you for the work you do in the community, and welcome to Techlahoma!
