Thanks, Julian, Ultimately, my question comes down to: is it OK to point people interested in events for specific (in this case Beam) events to the communication platform used by the wider asf community. I figure it is ideal to expand the overall Apache tent/community. Though there are certainly

When looking at that code for the page, I had thought that perhaps would not hard-code the year, but would use a javascript function to get the date/year and include that when the site gets rendered -- but that makes sense in my head, which easily doesn't translate to being easy-to-impliment. On S
