Line 7:
* April 10, or so: They have all committed to dates+times that work.
* By April 11: They all email their project email lists so that the newcomers know about the fact that they're running the event.
 
== Process ==
 
One a project says they want to be involved, we should:
 
* Quietly check that they are a project with more than a small handful of users.
** (They should be impressive! :-)
* Read their "application" email, and make sure the person seems sane.
 
Then:
 
# Get the person to '''commit to a date time''' and add it to the Build_it page.
# Get the person to '''write an email they will send to the -users and -devel list''', and ask nicely if they are okay writing in a piratepad so we can help make it clear and friendly and link to the overall "Build it" series of events.
#* If we were really nice people, we would have a template we could use.
# Ask them to come up with a list of places to send the email. The -users list, the -devel list, the project blog? The more places that have prospective contributors, the better.
# Get the person to '''send the email''' (and otherwise publicize the event).
# Join the project's IRC channel, and idle there for a few days before and after their "Build it" event.
