What I did at NetSquared in October 2012
October is here! This is going to be a big month for NetSquared. Not only are we going to be holding three regional camps, but there’s also 18 local meetups scheduled and a major local organizer-focused update to the NetSquared platform.
Camps
There are three NetSquared camps scheduled for October:
- October 12, 2012: NetSquared Camp Toronto: Building & Engaging our Networks
- October 25-29, 2012: Vermont ‘Social Media For Social Change’ FREE Workshops
- October 25, 2012: NetSquared Camp Europe
And in November there will be two more:
- November 3, 2012: NetSquared Guatemala: Evento Regional 2012
- November 28, 2012: NetSquared Camp Downunder
Platform
The seventh release of the NetSquared platform is now live. It includes several new features including notification feeds (Facebook-style!) and NetSquared camp pages which appear as green dots on the local map.
What comes next? A major revision of the local organizer pages, to be rolled out October 23, 2012. Hopefully that will solve some of the ongoing bugs y’all have been struggling with, including an unpredictable meetup integration and hunt ‘n peck map icons. ?
