-''This is a new section designed to collect planned expeditions in one place. It is hoped that it can eventually be automated, placing all pages in [[:Category:Expedition planning]] for each date under the appropriate subheading, but for now it is manual.  For discussion on the automation effort, please see the [[Geo Hashing talk:Current events|the talk page]].''

+{{Recent expeditions}}
-Add a new subheading if you are '''planning''' a more recent expedition, and move the subheadings for dates that have passed in their respective timezones to the Recent Meetups section. Each entry should be a link to a <nowiki>[[YYYY-MM-DD LAT LONG]]</nowiki> page giving more details of the planning, even if the plan is simply "[[User:thepiguy|thepiguy]] will attend." Please don't use this page for simply cataloguing geohash locations: posting here is interpreted as an intention to geohash there on that date.
