Schedule of upcoming feature articles

At this stage, if you want a geek woman or a geek woman's organisation in the schedule, just fix it up (add a picture, make sure it's 3 or more paragraphs in length), add {{subst:Nominate featured article}} at the top of the article and stick it in here! Check Category:Proposed feature article for ideas.

  • 1 June 2012: Anita Borg (arbitary, we just need one decided)
  • 1 September 2012: Ada Lovelace Day (assuming it is scheduled for 7 October again) or Organization for Transformative Works (which has their major funding drive in October)
  • 1 December 2012: Undecided
  • 1 March 2013: Undecided
  • 1 June 2013: BlogHer (if it's in the summer again)
  • 1 September 2013: Undecided
  • 1 December 2013: Undecided

Making the changeover

  1. Edit the front page:
    1. remove the previous feature
    2. add the new one, including an excerpt from the article, a picture from the article, and a link to the article.
    3. update the links to the previous and next featured articles (you may need to JFDI and decide the next one if there's nothing in the schedule)
  2. Add {{subst:Record featured article}} to the top of the featured page article on the day of the switch (and remove the "Proposed" template if any).
