Promoting Code for America’s key Network events, such as Code for America Summit, National Day of Civic Hacking, and Brigade Congress has been one of the commitments in past MOUs so that Brigades are continuously developing their relationship with Code for America.
We want to make it easier for Brigades to share these key events by introducing a process to opt-in at least one month in advance of each event to allow the Network team to add Network events to a Brigade’s Meetup page using the Network Event Scheduler functionality.
Note that this will only be possible if the Brigade’s Meetup group is part of the Code for America Brigade Meetup.
For Brigades that use other platforms, their Brigade Meetup group isn’t under Code for America Brigade Meetup, or the Brigade itself wants to share Network events with a more customized description, we will still be sharing out guidance on how to share Network events, including a general template which Brigade leader(s) are free to modify.
