[Ubuntu-SG] 18 Oct at SMU - invitations

Hi David,

I dont know whether Google Docs support scripting. Even if it does, I
dont know about scripting. Sorry for my ignorance.

You could create a new form where confirmed attendees can be tracked.
Rightfully, those who registered for the event is surely coming. I dont
see any problem if another form is created just for this.

        Hi David,

        I'm not sure whether it is possible to restrict the number of
        slots using Google Docs.
        The number of attendees are confirmed once you and Rykel
        contacted them. I guess we have to do the counting manually, and
        make the confirmation via personal contact.

        I'll make the necessary changes to the post, in this case to
        mention about the 50 slots available.

Hello Heidir,

I was hoping it would be something we could do with the form
function/scripting associated with the Google Doc spreadsheet. If not,
then yes, we will need to do it manually. The spreadsheet seems to have
80 entries. Given that not everyone will want to attend, I am wondering
how much effort we need to put into tracking the number of
registrations? Maybe not much, really.

Cheers

        Hello Heidir,

        This looks great. The one thing I would add is some sort of
        statement that "Registration is limited to a maximum of 50
        persons, so register now!" or some such.

         For the form, I assume that it will track registrations, though
        I have yet to dig in and understand how it google docs manages
        that. I will proceed there now. Let's leave the form alone for
        the most part, but I would like to add to the form that there
        are only "X" places left, where is X = 50 - <number already
        registered>. Once we have 50 registrations, we can change the
        form to indicate that all places are filled.

        What do you think?

                        Refer below for my replies.

                        1) You are already included as collaborator for
                        the spreadsheet. This is the link
                        http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p-dATMo9BPkQuoa-g-tVtXA&hl=en

                OK cool.

                        2) You can modify the form as required. Rykel
                        and me discussed about the form. It is actually
                        for anyone who wish to join the session. If you
                        see fit that another form should be created,
                        please do so. Just add the necessary
                        collaborators.

                I know little of google docs, but I'll see what I can
                whip up.

                        3) I don't really understand what you mean by an
                        article. Or is it a Latest News? I have a poster
                        created for SMU, which I believe have been CC'ed
                        to you. If not, it is available in our Team wiki
                        @
                        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SingaporeTeam/Activities

                I'm not sure what the correct term is in Joomla. In
                newspaper terminology, a "feature article" would be what
                I mean. A "latest news" sounds ok too. Again, I'll
                consider it a learning opportunity and see what I can
                do.

                        4) No idea about any script. Just write up a
                        script which contains information about the
                        event for the contacts.

                OK. Once I do, I share it here.

                Cheers

                        Thank you.
