I know that Charles Wyble is putting together a meta-LUG site for all 
of Southern California at socallugs.org, in part based on the work 
done at lalugs.org, and he's going to be using WebCalendar (see 
<http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php>), because that's the best 
calendaring tool he's found so far in the several years he's been 
looking at this subject.

Can you give us a comparison and contrast between using a calendar 
component of a content management system like Drupal, Joomla!, or 
Plone versus WebCalendar?


BTW, I'm looking at putting together my own meta-UG site [0] for all 
the various user groups in the Austin area, and I'm very interested 
in the kinds of tools that might be used to help make this sort of 
thing happen.  And I know a group with multiple machines co-located 
at multiple different facilities, who might be able to provide the 
resources necessary for hosting such a site.

If anyone is interested in doing something similar for San Antonio, 
I'd love to hear from you, especially if you've got any particular 
tools you'd recommend, other such sites that we should cross-link 
with, etc....











[0] Not just LUGs, but computer user groups of pretty much all types, 
including those specific to given programming languages, etc....
