[SoCoSA/discuss] ical feed question

[Steve S.]

The main thing I'd want -- since (to many) these ARE essentially "one"
event -- is for each "separate" event to explicitly refer to the
other:
   " ... immediately followed by <tech session "X"> . "
And:
   "As you're digesting your dinner and sitting with your new-found
friends and colleagues, NBLUG's technical session will be ... "


Think about it from the perspective of someone just arriving in the
area, or otherwise new to NBLUG -- is there any chance they could see
just one, and miss the other event (or, from the other point of
view... miss either part of an event)?  I know that *I* would presume
no LUG would host 2 events in one night, so a "social hour" (or a
guest speaker) might pass for all that's happening...
