Обсуждение: Event Submission
I'm trying to submit a new event but am getting an error saying that the "Org" field is required. Unfortunately, there areno organizations appearing in the dropdown list so I cannot submit. Is this a global issue or is it isolated to my communityaccount? Thanks, Jonathan

Umm, did you see the line of text below the org field? We added that last week, so I'm wondering if you missed it, or if it's in need of rephrasing (Magnus and I weren't entirely happy with the wording). In any case, you need to be added to one or more organisations. You can check who the managers are at https://www.postgresql.org/account/orglist/, or if it says "Migrated Connection", one of us can make you the manager if you tell us the org name and your user ID. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

It is a bit confusing - I would probably just say "To be added to an organization, contact the organization manageror webmaster@postgresql.org" But additionally, I would recommend having a default organization, such as "Other" or "Community" so that if someone whois not affiliated with an organization has a PG Event they can at least submit it, and we could work out the data associationafter. That being said, I will send my add requests to webmaster@ :-) Thanks, Jonathan

It is a bit confusing - I would probably just say "To be added to an organization, contact the organizationmanager or webmaster@postgresql.org" We didn't say that because we don't want to add people to orgs that already have a "real" manager. That should be up to them to decide who represents them. > But additionally, I would recommend having a default organization, such as "Other" or "Community" so that if someone whois not affiliated with an organization has a PG Event they can at least submit it, and we could work out the data associationafter. If we do that, I'll bet a pint that the majority of people just start picking that org instead of an appropriate one :-) -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

You can always relay the message to the real manager, or ( feature request) list the real managers on the org page ;-) > >> But additionally, I would recommend having a default organization, such as "Other" or "Community" so that if someone whois not affiliated with an organization has a PG Event they can at least submit it, and we could work out the data associationafter. > > If we do that, I'll bet a pint that the majority of people just start > picking that org instead of an appropriate one :-) Touché - will not take that bet Jonathan

Tried the organizations page and did not see it - but I'm also mobile right now and can't do a thorough inspection.
