I agree. The only link on the front page (homepage) of apache.org that
comes in the neighbourhood of events is the conferences link. And this
goes to a page that is shows a lot of information links, but not the
events themselves. This page should be showing an overview of upcoming
events (including conferences).
We currently have a shared calendar for events, which various pages then
pull in and display as lists or calendars, eg
http://community.apache.org/calendars/index.html
http://events.apache.org/event/calendar.html
If you haven't got karma for the calendar but want it, just let us know
your google id and someone'll grant you it
And I would say that the first upcoming (and rated as most important) event
should have a nice image on the front page to click directly to that event.
I shouldn't be too much work to tweak the JS from one of those to also
display a logo if there is one in the event details
(These pages are all driven by a shared calendar, because the biggest
problem found in the past was getting people to update it, so the easier
it is to update the more likely it is to stay updated! That could be
changed, but the new plan would need to be equally as simple...)
