Are we talking about events at which any Apache project shows up; or are we talking about where the Foundation shows up? The former is likely to be very significant. One of the projects I work on has multiple events a month (meetup groups, exhibiting at events, etc). There are a few similar projects. Meanwhile the Foundation has very few events that it has an official presence at. --David
