Mailinglist/Announce guidelines

The Noisebridge-Announce mailing list exists for making announcements about events happening at Noisebridge.

Posts go out to the hundreds or thousands of subscribers, so it is a great way to get word out about your events at Noisebridge. In addition, posts automatically get Tweeted on the Noisebridge Twitter account. They also often get forwarded to Laughingsquid and other event sites.

To make the best of your posts, please include the following on all posts:

• have a catchy subject. "Five Minutes of Fame, November 25" is good (the date is optional but beneficial). "We are having a workshop next month at Noisebridge about Processing" is not good.
• contain the essential information in the body of the email for better forwarding:
  • What is the event about? (It's nice to include both a one-sentence and a one-paragraph version.)
  • When is the event?
  • Where is the event? Make sure you state that the event is at Noisebridge.
• optional: a link to a wiki page for more information.
• include any necessary information or prerequisites ("Please have Processing installed on your laptop before coming to the workshop, or show up an hour early for help getting Processing installed.")

If you do not include all of the essentials, or if you post about an event not happening at Noisebridge, the list moderator will not approve your post.
