FAQ for using Calagator outside Portland
**Labels:**Featured
Anything in the Portland Metro Area that might be of interest to local technologists. If you're in Portland, and you consider yourself a technology person, it's safe to add events you think your peers would like to attend. If both of those things aren't the case, please ask someone who matches for a second opinion first.
Yes! Calagator now has a custom theming system that will allow you to set up your own custom calendar site. There's a README to help you get started. You might also want to check out the Ubuntu install guide for help in getting Calagator up and running in production.
If you do this, please let us know where we can find your site to add it to our list.
There's always more work to be done to expand Calagator, though. Here's some areas we're looking at, and things you can do to help.
Come to a code sprint to help work on in-progress features and talk to us about what you need in order to start using Calagator for your community.
This also requires programming work, to let users select a geographic area to filter by while browsing the site. We don't want to flood Portlanders with events in Seattle, or vice versa. We have ideas about how to do this, but need people to help figure out the best options and write code.
Sketches or wireframes of how you think the expanded Calagator should work will give developers a head start. Or maybe you know someone you could recruit to contribute code. Also, we found it very beneficial to spend lots of time talking to the groups we hoped would use Calagator, and ask what they needed from a community calendar project. Your community would benefit from similar discussions. What works in Portland may not be what works in Eugene. Ask people what is and isn't useful in their existing calendar tools.
Go ahead! Calagator is provided under the open source MIT License. But in that spirit, we hope you'll share your changes with the rest of us too. If you contribute your patches to us under the MIT License, we'll do our best to include them in the mainline code.
