2015 EVENTS: HG: HYPEvents, a Hypergrid event directory. For my HG BeatThis List

HYPEvents, a Hypergrid event directory,
with a new secret ingredient!
Grids have their own calendars and so do some communities.  The secret ingredient here is that HYPEvents will scrape those calendars and publish what it finds. No extra work by event managers.  They just tell HYPEvents the calendar URL.  


HYPEvents launched a website listing events from all over the Hypergrid so avatars can find out what is going on right now, and where.   I am adding this to my HG BeatThis list

    Announcement about HYPEvents 

    The website, scrapes the web and gets event info from grid event calendars. The site provides a single listing of the events ordered by date. It offers easy timezone conversion and the location (as a hypergrid address) of each event.
    • Put the Hypergrid address in the World Map next to Find.  Click Find, TP
    • The HG address will not work as a web url.
    • You can use a HG address from any HG-enabled grid.

    Initiator Tom Frost said, "I was fed up with missing events. There is so much going on, but the information about what is happening where and when is scattered. There really is no single directory, no overview of all the events in one uniform format. Until now.".
    -
    Instead of creating yet another site that event organizers have to post each individual event on, Frost created HYPEvents to pull in the information that is already published on grid websites and public calendars.
    -
    Frost is always on the look-out for new event calendars that are not yet included on the site, and encourages grid-owners to publish their events in an easy-to-parse format:
    -
    "Many grids don't publish their events, or publish them only in-world or on internal forums that are only for members. If you are not a member of such a grid, you won't know about the nice events that are going on! And the events miss out on a large potential audience. Publishing an event calendar is a win-win for everyone.", Frost says.    -
    Grid owners or event organizers who maintain an event calendar can let the site know about their calendar to have it added. Send an email at tomfrost@linkwater.org and send us a link to the grid's event calendar! Ical feed works best, but we can also build a custom scraper and parser for web-based event calendars.-
    Frost says, "The website is still under construction, and probably always will be. I have many features I want to add, so in the spirit of google, consider the site a permanent beta."
    -
    The website http://HYPEvents.net/ is a not-for-profit initiative by Tom Frost with the goal of bringing closer the hypergrid community.
