we can make it public

What do we need/requirements to solve this:

• have a global calendar view of events past and future so both ambassadors and people interested in meeting openSUSE at events can find out what is coming
  • filter for area to show events planned and past events.
  • Links to event planning page/report.
  • can export ical or such so we integrate it on news.o.o and people can track it. Ideally filtered on region.

What's wrong with the "Event Calendar" on http://news.opensuse.org/ ?
I guess we just need to find someone (again) that handles the content, the tool is already there... Once someone takes care about the content, I'm sure this person might come up with very specific requests for improvements. But currently I do not see that the available tool can not solve your requests.

• have a 'event page' where people can:
  • signify they are attending
  • see other people who are coming and in what capacity (speaker, booth supporter, ...)
  • coordinate travel, who brings what, who gives talks about what etc
  • comment
  • promote: social media integration - tweet etc, or link to event pages on facebook/g+/lanyrd
  • order and track track status merchandising/materials
  • ask for and track travel support (right now this goes on a per-person base, it should be event-based)
  • put a report and (links to) videos, pictures and slides after an event on the page
• the system should have the ability to make reports/overview of nr of events we did, nr of ambassadors etc. Also be connected to TSP app of course.
• show events an ambassador has attended on his/her user page

IMHO something that should be integrated into https://connect.opensuse.org/ or https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/ - but I'm not a developer. Maybe you should ask on our mailinglists (or GSOC?) for someone who likes to work on this?

See https://features.opensuse.org/312178 and related features for some examples and some more concrete ideas.

Of course, this makes only sense IF it is decided to put effort in the ambassador/advocate program, from merchandising to management/motivation etc.

I'm very sorry, but I could not see anything that the openSUSE Admin Team can help with. We might provide you a virtual machine were you can start the development of your requested tool, but I assume you may need to ask our developers if they can implement your requests.

We are driving the infrastructure, not developing it ;-)

So: what should we do with this ticket here, Jos?

Lets assign it to the openSUSE Team, then. I was asked to put the ideas/posiblities for the ambassador program in progress and that's here now... What to do with it in the future - that is out of my hands.
