Could you tell me - for possible replication in Ireland - what was/is
involved technically and financially in setting up and maintaining the
events part of the site with facility for members' uploads?
See you soon.

Hi Rachel and others
The Isotope site allows registered members to upload details of forthcoming
events (http://isotope.open.ac.uk/?q=node/view/events).
The most recent upload is listed on the front page of the site. Select the
events page and the entries are listed in chronological order. There is also
an archive of previous events. Everything that is listed on the site is
searchable, and there's the option to subscribe to an RSS feed.
Select Create new account from the home page if you would like to register
(http://isotope.open.ac.uk).
Best wishes
Rick

Hi Rachel and all,
We are overdue putting together this list of festival dates online for the
UK Science Festivals network - thanks to Wellcome for at least grouping some
of us on to a webpage so dates can be checked out:
http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/Education-resources/Communicating-your-research/Pu
blic-engagement-opportunities/Festivals/index.htm
I thought some time ago that Psci-com might have had an Events part of its
gateway website which could be updated by members but I might be wrong. A
place for the science communication community to upload events which could
be marketed to the public, and to media, would be a good idea. I'd be happy
to help, although there are many, many people whose web skills are better
than mine :)

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Dates in 2011 for conferences / festivals / events
Dear All
List members are a diverse and talented range of individuals committed to
public engagement in science and I would like to enquire whether anyone has
pooled the resources of this network to produce a comprehensive list of key
dates in 2011.
I think such a resource would be invaluable as there are so many different
conferences, festivals and events that happen each year many of which are
advertised here but many that are not (twitter often yields many other types
of related events).
It would be incredibly useful to have a relatively comprehensive "Calendar
of events" for 2011 which could be amended and updated by list members. For
many such as myself being aware of dates further in advance than normal
would ensure people avoid double booking themselves for something they
really want to attend. Also people could post events that other list members
might not have been aware of if they weren't discussed on Psci-Com.
I would love to hear list members opinions about this suggestion and whether
someone would be able to take on this task.
Many thanks
Rachel
