The South-Western Ontario calendar (temporary working title) will be an online reference and self-printable flyer to distribute local regional information alone or with other publications, such as Druthers.

The goal is to collectively aggregate important freely available information, as well as develop and share new content the wider public should become aware of.

This South-Western Ontario calendar project should be tightly co-developed with the South-Western Ontario newsletter project.

Hopefully we can collaborate with Freedom Alliance Canada and other networks.

Sources

Groups and individuals may make announcements, post events, and share their schedules.

• Action and freedom groups
• Belief groups (atheists, Common Law, Natural Law, religions, etc.)
• Charity groups
• City, town, village, and regional authorities
• Communications groups (arts and media, production, social media, technology, etc.)
• Health and wellness groups
• Individuals
• Political groups (especially including fringe parties)
• Politicians (especially including fringe candidates)
• Prepper groups
• Resources groups (education, employment, food, housing, makers, sales, etc.)

Regions

South-Western Ontario, starting with a focus on Windsor and Essex County. As this project develops with clearer focus, goals, and organization on these wiki pages we may invite more communities and folks to participate. (Feel free to suggest more places and topical categories to add to the bottom of this page.)

Submissions

I (Jason Carswell) propose all content once submitted be openly shared, and potentially further developed, edited, and tweaked, here on Projex.Wiki. Content that may not make it into an issue might still be utilized later.

We can develop and fine tune a Calendar and newsletter submissions guide to provide folks with a template of ideas they may draw from, along with rough limits for our purposes.

We can keep evolving some lists, not only for collaborators, contributors, and editors, but to keep the public in the loop of what content we may need help with.

• Articles lists
  • Needed articles list
  • Wanted articles list
  • Wish for articles list
  • Urgent articles list
  • ASAP articles list
  • Sooner articles list
  • Later articles list
• Be aware of list
  • To avoid list
• Events lists
  • Annual events list
  • Monthly events list
  • Weekly events list
  • Daily events list
  • Rare events list
  • One-time events list
• Folks lists
• Supplies lists
  • Advertisers lists?
  • Communities and groups lists
  • Editorial staff lists
• Supplies lists
• etc.

Editing

more coming soon

Not sure where to start with this.

Communications

We may collectively and openly decide how all this will be organized.

One option is to use some of the WEFringe group email lists, or even create others if necessary. To join the list(s) that interest you, simply send an email with the subject "subscribe" to any or all of the 8 groups (so far). WEFringe-REACH may be where most of the calendar/newsletter organizing might occur.

1. WEFringe-ANNOUN-Request@FreeLists.org, ONLY announcements & newsletters
2. WEFringe-ACTION-Request@FreeLists.org, organizing activities & events
3. WEFringe-FUN-Request@FreeLists.org, escapist amusements
4. WEFringe-GLOBAL-Request@FreeLists.org, global news & info we cannot affect
5. WEFringe-LOCAL-Request@FreeLists.org, ONLY local news affecting us and/or that we may react to
6. WEFringe-PLANS-Request@FreeLists.org, managing & planning our communities
7. WEFringe-REACH-Request@FreeLists.org, communications, media, public relations, tech
8. WEFringe-SOCIAL-Request@FreeLists.org, free-form freedom forum

History

This idea is not new, but finally has interest in getting things organized and happening.

As of the 2023-08-09 casual Wednesday-Minor meeting in Windsor, this project idea will be revived with new fervor.

Research

Projex.Wiki will need to know what calendar extension(s) to install and learn how to operate them, among other much needed wiki tools. Worth noting, Projex.Wiki is not only running MediaWiki but powerful Semantic MediaWiki (for anyone who can learn to use it).
