Some thoughts:

 * The link for adding a comment should be in the 'comment section'.
Right now it's at the top of the page. When reading the comments, the
user might want to reply to someone or add a new comment. Their eyes and
focus are on that page of the page. Adding a 'add new comment' to the
bottom is keeping with the flow of the page, and it's where the user
will look for it. Launchpad does this, the 'add comment' box is right
underneath all the comments.

 * For the same reasons, the 'register for this event' should be in the
'registered attendees' section.

 * The latitude and longitude are specified with + and -. They should
use N/S, or E/W, since this is what the average user expects of latitude
and longitude. The average user is not sure which is + is which is -

 * The latitude and longitude has a high number of decimal places. I
doubt one requires to locate something to that level of precision. What
is the purpose of having the exact latitude and longitude (as opposed to
a map link)? If you are expecting people to type things into their GPS /
map system, then you are making more work for them by having a lot of
decimal places.

 * "Event Comments" text is too long. It's should be sufficent to say
"Comments". It's obvious that the comments refer to the events

 * "Location information" is too precise and formal a term, it is also
too long. "Where?" or "Location" should suffice.

 * The subtitles "Location Information", "Registered Attendees" and
"Event Comments" are of the same style as the title of the event
("Ubuntu Chicago Global Jam"). They should appear smaller and less
important that main title, since they are subheadings of that event

 * "Organising Team(s)" - You don't need to have a (s) on the end. If
there is one team, just put the text "Team", if there are >1 then put in
"Teams".

 * Probable UTC bug - The timezone is shown in UTC. This means the
chicgoeans will be starting at 7am (local time) and ending at 12noon
(local time) (Source:

Status in LoCo Directory: In Progress

Bug description:
Events pages (i.e. http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/263/detail/) are rather ugly. Some specific issues that should probably get fixed are:

1) Text extends out past the edges of the boxes
2) It is cluttered
3) The location information and event comments should probably be below the registered attendees
4) "This event is part of:" looks very strange when wrapped.
