[SongOrganizers] Events Calendar and Map

Hi folks, Although there are still only 6 of us on this list, I wanted to give you a heads up that I'm ready to see what we can do to beef up the Song listings in the CDSS Events Calendar and Map. Emily, I know you've counter-posted a recommendation to hold off as CDSS is looking into upgrade options for the backend of the calendar and map to improve data entry and search. Heard and understood, so I'll back off of Facebook and look to get better aligned with this group and with the CDSS team that's looking into the platform upgrade. A national song events registry is The One Big Thing I care most about as a song session organizer, and I'm ready and able to volunteer substantive time in the next few months as I am between jobs and awaiting knee replacement in June. Since I've been under the weather the last few months with shoulder surgery and the loss of both parents, I'm re-engaging and realizing that I still owe you a bio that will give you some background for my interest in this project. I'll post that as a separate thread. Emily, can you advise us on two points? Thanks. 1) Who is the committee looking into the platform upgrade for the events calendar/map, and how can we engage with them as community champions? 2) What can we do NOW, to capture interest and engage our fellow organizers, while aligning with the long-term goals of improving data entry and search on the events platform?
