My $0.02:

The only event that matters is an event where someone from Sugar Labs 
(broadly defined) will be present, and is willing to take ownership of 
representing Sugar Labs at the event.

For example: SCALE is a great event.  Perfect for recruiting folks to the 
Sugar mission, showing off the latest Sugar goodness, holding a BoF, 
hacking, whatever.  But if no one from Sugar Labs shows up, that event may 
as well not even exist.

I don't want to cross-link a million events.  I want to know where Our 
People will be.  There's a gigantic and vitally important difference.
