What
PerthEvents.au features a curated list of Perth-based events, which are (mostly) free, aggregated from various websites. A few of the sources are:
Who
This website is designed and maintained by DesignPuli. Most of the information here is manually added for now. But I’m learning Python to create a script to automate the content extraction so that the site updation becomes easier. I have succeeded in creating Python scripts for extracting data from three of the sources now. Wish me luck!
Why
“Oh, why post photos after the event is over? You should’ve told us earlier so we could attend too!”
– Many Perthlings
I have seen many such comments on subreddits and local Facebook pages about the need for a single source of truth that aggregates all Perth based events before they happen. After waiting for a few months expecting someone to build a tech events website, I launched this humble effort using readily available, off-the-shelf tech building blocks.
How
My source of inspiration is 'Tech in Amsterdam,' a website maintained by Philip Bergqvist.
The current version of PerthEvents.au uses the free StartBootstrap HTML template 'Modern Business'. The index.html file is auto-generated using Python scripts written by me that runs on the Spyder IDE.
An older version of this website ran on WordPress CMS, with the theme ‘Eksell’ by Anders Norén. The free WP plugin, The Events Calendar, was the heart.
When
The event lists are updated everyday around 10:00 PM AWST. I also do occasional updates during the weekday whenever I’m told about newly announced events. You can also suggest events by e-mailing me or filling out a form. I will add them in the next update cycle.
Where
PerthEvents.AU can be accessed from anywhere in the Solar System — make sure that you have good internet connectivity. Any web browser on your devices — be it smart phones, tablets like iPad, laptop and desktop computers, Apple Vision Pro, Humane AI Pin, Rabbit r1… — should be able to display the events list on this website.
Whose
The content belongs to the original owners. I will try my best to publish accurate event info without any glaring mistakes. However, I suggest to always check with the respective organizers for event related information and updates. Since I’m just a messenger, I’m not responsible for your losses/inconvenience from cancelled events or insufficient event information.
Which...
…brings us to the end of this page. Thank you for being part of our community.
Everything is not free! Yes, I have paid for the domain name, the server space for hosting this website, and many ‘regular lattes’ during the development phase!
So, Will you buy me a coffee? 😉
