[IAEP] Events calendar

[David Farning]

Edward, Could you put the events you come across on the google calander?
Then we can transfer them to the wiki if we are going to have a Sugar
presence.

All on one calender with a tag in the header would be good for now, if the
idea scales we can scale to accommodate the growth.

Your point about scope is spot-on.  Sugar Labs need to focus on the learning
platform, but be willing to talk to anyone and everyone with whom we can
have a mutually beneficial relationship.

FWIW, I have been amazed at my inability to successfully assess who will
become a valuable contributor and who is will not.  I am willing to talk to
anyone:)
