I do reccommend that moving forward we build the site in a CMS... I'm familiar with Drupal's calendar module, it would work.

I'll be away from the internets this weekend. Talk to you all soon!

Our first event at the Library Lab is tomorrow!  We're holding an
OpenStreetMap party, starting at 11 am.

No prior knowledge, no GPS, etc. required.  Wikimedians are most welcome to
join and help kick off the Library Lab, with the first event.

More info on the library lab and a map showing exactly where it is:

VERY iMPRESSIVE THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING jR LIBRARYLABRATORY HAS BEEN
ESTABLISHED. Never Say Never. What to Do, Add Pages to WikiPedia. Group
Photos' & Names, for One. Historical, Peoples, Socialogy & Statistics. Just
plain Old Photos & Recording, into WikiPedia, for Long Term Preserving.
ChinaTown At Night Is Great Photo Op. Success Stories of All Types.

Retail Areas, Government Locations, Neighborhoods. WaterFronts. old
Sections, New Developements, All come to mind. Safe City with Many
Opportunities for Media & Article Building. Interlinking Pages into Digital
Volumne for intrested. Interview Politicians. Noticed on FaceBook, Huge
Names, With Movies Made as Biography, H Marion Barry, NO Real Intrest from
public, yet Movie: 9 Lives of Marion Barry on Hulu shows Powerful & Dynamic
Leader. People Are Far Better Off, Yet Story of Most politicians Goes
UnStated. Hummmm,Subject Matter.
