There's several 10th anniversary cache events going on in my province and I am wondering how we get the event type converted from a standard event to a 10 Years! event.

 

Does anyone know if this is being done before next weekend or if you have to wait until after the event to post your photo to prove you meet the guidelines, in order to get the icon? Just wondering. Thanks.

That page seems to indicate that a special icon will show up on the page, but nothing special for attendee's.

 

Those who attend these events will earn the standard Event icon.

Actually, what you quoted comes from a standard Lackey attended event. Below that it talks about the 10 Years! Events, which is what the original question in this topic is referring to.

 

In addition to the standard event cache Guidelines, there are a few additional guidelines that you will need to follow if you wish your event to qualify for a 10 Years! cache type icon.

 

Additional Guidelines:

 

* Events must be held April 30 - May 3, 2010.

* The name of the event needs to be formatted this way: "10 Years! <your location>." For example: 10 Years! Seattle, WA or 10 Jahre! Munich, Germany.

* At least 10 people must attend the event.

* Flashmobs do not qualify.

* A video or picture must be taken at the event. At least 10 attendees must be in the video/photo along with a legible sign showing the event coordinates and location name.

* The people in the video or photo should be festive. Be inventive! But please keep it family friendly.

 

If you are interested in hosting a 10 Years! event, you are welcome to submit it as a normal event cache at this time. We will provide details on how to switch the listing to a 10 Years! event soon.

 

I think the icon for these events will end up being this -- 10Years_50.png

So a lackey attended event gets a less glamorous icon than a non-lackey attended event?

 

Yes! But only because it's two different things

The 10 Year! icons are for the special events this coming weekend.

 

The lackey attended icons are just for the map on the Lost and Found page to show which events lackeys will be attending throughout the Summer

 

( I think) :)

We're releasing some code this week that includes this update. You won't need to take any action on your part. Have a great event!

 

Sweet! Thanks man. Greatly appreciated. I'm psyched for the two events in my city alone plus I'll be at the L&F event in Seattle. Great to see you guys giving us a few more icons :)

I'll be at the Seattle event too I hope! Hopefully we can meet. I'll be the one with the geocaching shirt on with the "Obey" logo on it.

Is that the exact t-shirt that you'll be wearing? Because if not, I might not be able to recognize you. :);)

 

Perhaps you should wear a name tag. :ph34r:

The only real issue is the My Finds PQ.

Not quite. If the icon gets flipped before the events get archived it will show up in regular PQs. And people can still download the GPX from the cache page even after it gets archived.

 

I want to know if it will be a new cache type in the GPX or just a cosmetic display change on the profile page.

I guess the question here is : is there going to be a new cache type for Groundspeak:type in the GPX. Hopefully people developing for GPX (GSAK, CacheStats, etc) either already have the information, or will be getting it soon.

That's my concern as I haven't seen any public information on this yet.

:):rolleyes: I can't imagine that there might be more than one "mtn-man" name tag there. :ph34r:

 

The REAL mtn-man will be tending to ;) Ambrosia's :) every need and will be following her with grapes to feed to her as she wishes.

L&F Events will still show as normal Events in the PQ since we didn't want to break any gps/tool/etc that might rely on "Text" still.
Will there be other ways to determine if an event is a 10 years event for applications that do wish to support them?

One of the requirements is to have the cache titled "10 Years! - "

And the events must be held April 30 - May 3, 2010 (could have sworn it was May 1 - 2 earlier, but glad to see the larger window).

 

Sounds like a good plan, and straightforward enough. Thanks for the clarification.
