Weeks 12/5 - 12/19
'Tis the season! We have all earned our time for celebration and rest given how hard we have been working the past few weeks. Read on for news of our latest redesign improvements, platform fixes, 2ND BOOTCAMP with Dallas and Seattle, as well as our holiday plans.Redesign the Rad Reindeer
Because if the Redesign were a reindeer, it would totally takeover Rudolph's role to guide Santa's sleigh into the future.
Oh heeeyyyy did you all hear that Do512 and Do312 launched officially?! We'll start 2014 off with soft launching our California cities, DoLA and Do415.
Our Dev team did some superstar stuff these past few weeks related to redesign , some of which was mentioned in our previous posts.
One BIG change was made across all your sites as a result of our A/B testing: smaller event cards on your listing pages.
See the test results below:
As you can see, Variation 1 as representative of the smaller cards didn't test significantly better, but many of you felt strongly about it aesthetically. So it is now live for you all!
Another BIG improvement is specifically related to BIG ON SALES or how ticket on sale info displays. Instead of the "BUY" button on the event card or page, the button will display the date that tickets go on sale or, if day of, the time.* You can checkout Do312's Big On Sales list to see how it looks.
*This information is scraped or entered under Ticket Info on event pages in Admin. Want some help getting a Big On Sales list set-up? Let us know!
Here are some additional redesign improvements and fixes:

Here are some additional redesign improvements and fixes:
- You can now delete/remove photos in the Manage Photos modal in Admin.
- We shrunk the width of the Search box when opened so it does not overlap your logo.
- A "Contact" check is included in the event creation form so users can let you know if they are interested in running RSVPs or advertising.
- Error pages will now direct users to contact your subdomain email, such as do512@do512.com.
Re: RSVPs
We've made quite a few fixes to RSVPs given your feedback, so it deserved a section unto itself. Here is what we've completed:
- If you elect to uncheck "Send confirmation email?" in the RSVP setup, a confirmation email will not send.
- You can customize additional text RSVPer receives upon confirmation in the "RSVP confirmation email" field.
- "Affiliation" entry works and saves for RSVPers.
- You can set an RSVP passcode to lock events.
- 21+? appears on all RSVP/Giveaways modals default checked.
Look for more RSVP upgrades (anyone requesting email customization?) we're going to prioritize Episode 5 beginning in January!
Bootcamp: Do206 and 214!
That's Seattle and Dallas, respectively. These two new terrific teams joined us at DoStuff HQ this past Monday and Tuesday to learn all that we could cram into the two days about what it takes to make build a Do community in their cities.
Check out their class photos:

Do206 plans on launching in January, while Do214 will launch later in the spring! We'll keep you posted on their progress.
Sales Part-ay
As those of you who participated on Michael's sales call learned last week, we have good conversations happening and ideas in the pipeline. Look for further upcoming updates regarding Goose and AB.
Also, SXSW! Get those ideas out there and begin you planning.
Happy Holidays!!!
As mentioned in an email Kristin sent out, we are planning on taking some R&R over the holidays weeks so that we can come back for 2014 refreshed and ready to kill it. (If you need anything support related that is urgent, simply label it "URGENT" in the subject line.) It's been a big year, and this next one is going to be even bigger!
We at DoStuff are all planning on time with friends and family. Some of us are travelling, from New Mexico to Florida to NYC!
The first full week of January, DoStuff will regroup to close Episode 4 and start Episode 5. We look forward to filling you in on the details of our plans for global domination once we've strategized sufficiently.
Until then, we hope you all enjoy the season as well and take it easy!
