Part III — Gathering the fruits

05 · Agenda and map

The baobab marks the meeting place. The agenda says when; the map, where.

The Agenda

Agenda shows events: upcoming and past.

The Agenda with a scheduled workshop

Scheduling an event

+ new event opens the form:

  • start and end (or all day, with no time);
  • location — the name of the place ("Casa de Cultura Tainã") and, if you like, the spot on the map;
  • external link — a livestream or a sign-up outside Baobáxia;
  • capacity — how many places (or unlimited);
  • status — confirmed, postponed or cancelled;
  • recurrence — doesn't repeat, every day, every week, every 2 weeks, every month, or a custom rule (for "every Thursday, 8 times").

A repeating event appears in the Agenda on each date, but it is a single saber.

Taking part

On the event's page, logged-in people answer are you going? with going, maybe or not going. Everyone sees the numbers; see who shows the names.

An event's page

Taking it to your phone's calendar

  • add to calendar (on an event) downloads the event to your calendar;
  • subscribe to calendar (in the Agenda) gives an address your phone's calendar checks by itself — new events show up there;
  • download .ics takes all of them at once;
  • import calendar (.ics), at the bottom of the Agenda, brings events from another calendar into a galaxy.

The Map

Map shows every saber that has a location: photos, events, articles. Nearby points merge into a number; zoom in to separate them.

The network's Map

  • click a point to see the title and open the saber;
  • click the legend (event, media…) to show or hide a type;
  • change the map background in the box at the top. Without internet, the mucua uses a simple map, only with outlines — the points are still there.

To put a saber on the map: when creating or editing, tick location and choose the spot. From your phone, send your position to the bot (chapter 09).

Territories

A territory is the place saberes belong to. In ☰ → Territories each territory has its own page, with its saberes, roots and mucuas; the Blog and the Archive can be filtered by territory (i: in the search) and take on its colour.

To talk about in the circle

  • Which community gatherings repeat (the Thursday circle, the yearly festival)? How about putting them all in the Agenda?
  • Which places tell the community's story? Which saberes could go on the map?
