SQLSaturday Site Changes

We’ve made another few changes to the site that hopefully will make it more user friendly:

  • Added links to the upcoming events and view all events that will open up an iCalendar entry for the event
  • Modified the location page to display latitude and longitude of the event if available (great for GPS)
  • Changed to use Bing maps instead of Google if we have lat/long information entered
  • Added a dedicated spot on the location page for hotel information. Not many travel, but for those that do it’s great to have a recommendation.
  • The schedule now links to a page that shows session details plus the bio and photo (we’re not capturing the URL yet) of the presenter, plus a download link if we have the presentation available
  • Added our LinkedIn group to the menu

We’ve made good progress, one part that we have to go back to is showing the possible sessions and the suggested sessions – in the rebuild process we haven’t managed to glue them back in and have to decide where/how to do that.
