Laurii, Suzanne, Alex, Sean, and John provided feedback on this discussion. Some items from those conversations:

- Drupical looks good and people like its design
- Like Meetup, meet folks at the intersection of their interest and their location
- Smaller events (Meetups) are more likely to attract local folks, larger events (Camps) might attract folks from a larger distance
- Pins should convey more information

Added a mockup. Definitely will need some more design, for now using | as separators between Event Types, etc.

Thanks for all the ideas from today's contribution event and to all that attended. We intentionally did not make one large list so that Drupal Camps, the most popular event type, could be displayed in their own section.

I agree that we can remove some of the other blocks by using icons for "Call for content open", "has contribution event", "Includes Trainings" and "Tentative" for Proposed event dates.

While meetups used to be motly local in some regions, the are more frequently "virtual" events which are no longer tied to a local area. And do we want trainings, webinars, etc to be included in one event list? I don't think so.

I think this item makes sense in some ways, but needs further discussion before action is taken to implement the chanages.

Notes from Community Summit

We have events in three different location specificities:
- events with address
- virtual events with a target location (virtual Chicago meetup)
- totally location-less events (A11y-talks, etc)

Other stuff:
- Where do virtual events go on the page?
- Could events list interest categories or something?

Quick todo:
- Legend: define each type of event in the sidebar

Nice work 👍

Maybe camps, meetups, and contribution events in one list and trainings and webinars in another? Not sure.

In one way, I like they are broken up, but it is messy.

If we are trying to highlight camps, it could be split between camps and other events I guess.

Filtering and sorting becomes more challenging once there are multiple lists though.

The different icon per event type would be nice. As well as the various tags suggested.

I would be more than happy to work on this once we finalize the requirements.

Hi Suchi. Do you have any thoughts on how to make the Events page more welcoming for international events? Things we are missing or things that need to be rephrased, etc.

Notes from discussion:

Exposed filters:
- Type: multi-select checkboxes, showing all by default
- Country: default all, select list

Grouped by Month
Add icon @ 60px high

@seantwalsh will make a new mockup.

Agreed that updating the views in the center is top priority.

https://drucal.org/ makes a nicely designed calendar and filters with the event listing. It could be great to do something like that on the main page.

+1 for a calendar display!

I personally love to see events in such a display (calendar, week, month, year...) because it just makes more sense to me than a list.

If a calendar display is not possible, I'd suggest to group of rows by month in the list.

PS: available anytime to help implement the Calendar View module 👐

Should we include https://www.drupal.org/project/event_organizers/issues/3276527 → in this effort?

@tekNorah this effort is for the redesign of the page. The issue you are highlighting is for specific event pages. I have reached out to the d.o dev team to ask about the permissions issue and will comment there with any updates.
