Farm Hack 2018 Wales

We've begun the process of organising a Farm Hack gathering in mid Wales 24th to the 30th of september 2018.

Having issues, both creating an event on the calender and creating a non-tool wiki page.  Wonder if its my browser (Firefox 58.0.1 running in Fedora - all add-ons disabled), or are these features currently not available?

Will add more details as things progress

Image gallery preview doesn't make sense

The "image gallery" section on this page is very odd: http://farmhack.org/tools/triangle-quick-attach-3-point-hitch

There are 43 pictures in the gallery, but the preview image is the first two pictures, with messed-up overly narrow aspect ratios. It would be nicer to have some indication of the number of photos in the gallery, or even better, a grid of thumbnails for all 43 images to make it easy to browse to the photos of interest.

Cool room for spring storage

A while ago, I proposed a strawbale cold house, split in half, with one half filled with water barrels that were allowed to freeze, and the other half for cold storage.  A fan would move air through the insulated partition wall as needed.  The barrels would be frozen by running a fan from outside air during the winter.

However, according to one source even a partially filled barrel will bulge and fail.  I'm not impressed by the thought of three high stacks of round bottom barrels either.

Search function/map for people and others

Hi,

it took a while to find the fields to enter personal data to my account, like adress/organisation/selfdescription. This should be entered while setting up an account to have more (voluntairy) information available.

With this data, we could set up an search function for registered FarmHackers, to get in contact with people easier, with same interest/skills etc. for developing projects together or general exchange.

Hi res versions of logos please, maybe flyer templates too?

Hello again,

I was already provided with a high res version of the main FH logo here

Would also be nice if I could have the same for the 2 different subtitled logos.

Once I have that I can have a go at making a flyer template which could then be downloaded and the relevant local info added. I'm thinking half page is generally best, but maybe quarter too. Not my area of expertise this, but I'll have a go. If anyone else would like to help, please do.
