OK, it looks like I can do this change myself to the main web site. Or, not, if I just submit a patch -- let me know on this. However, I *thought* there was an event link once upon a time, and it turns out there is in fact http://events.apache.org/ but it hasn't been maintained in a while. Any further thoughts on-- * putting Events back in the top navigation * linking to this older Events page with the hope that it can be updated? > > > > > On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 7:09 PM, Kay Schenk <kay.sch...@gmail.com > <mailto:kay.sch...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > > Some of us just received a nice little summary from Melissa on the > ASF's > > activities at OSCON -- kudos to everyone on all this! > > > > However, on looking at the ASF main home page, http://www.apache.org/, > > events of any kind are not easily found.
