# Announcing Upcoming Talks and Events on the Lab Website

Announcements on our lab website are done by modifying the file [static/events.md](https://github.com/calc-project/calc-website/blob/master/static/events.md). The format is probably self-explanatory. Here is anyway some explanation.

The basic template is a one-liner that consists of the DATE (which can be a range), and an announcement, and is followed by a Link.
```
**DATE**: Firstname Familyname will give a talk titled "Talk title" as part of the workshop "Workshop title". [[URL]](https://link2site.html)
```

Depending on what you present, you can modify parts of the main text. But the data has a fixed format, as `Year-Month-Day` for a single day and `Year-Month-FirstDay/LastDay` for an event over several days in the same month, and `Year-FirstMonth-FirstDay/SecondMonth-SecondDay` if it spans two months. The URL format is also fixed, please always type `[[URL]](LINK)` and replace `LINK` by the actual link to the event.

Note that after you edited the file, you always must make a new Pull Request on GitHub, please do not merge this directly, but open a pull request and then tag Mattis (`@lingulist`) to merge and review it.
