organized. Within the chapter, open the
"Events"page and click on the"Create New Event"button as seen below.

- For monthly meetups, please use the following options
- Please select
"FOSS meetup"in the"Event Type"dropdown - Please use
"FOSS Meetup {city name}"for the"Event Name"e.g."FOSS Meetup Hyderabad" - Please use
YYYY-MMMfor the"Event Permalink"e.g.2024-nov - Please use
"Live"as the"Event Status" - Please select the start datetime and the end datetime for the event
After an event is created successfully, you should be able to see it in the
"Manage Chapter" page.
Update event
Information about the event e.g. location of the event can be updated after
the event is created. To update an event, open the event from the
"Scheduled Events" section, update the necessary information, and click on
the "Update Details" button.
Conclude event
After an event has concluded, please update the "Event Status" from "Live"
to "Concluded".
NOTE: The event will not be displayed under the "Past Events" section of
the chapter page unless the "Event Status" is updated. We have observed
events "disappear" from the public pages of chapters because the
"Event Status" doesn't get updated and the events aren't displayed under
"Upcoming Events" because the datetime for the event is in the past.
