[BuildStream] BuildStream Gathering 2019 discussion topic: 2019 events and Gatherings

[Agustín Benito Bethencourt <agustin benito codethink co uk>]

Hi,

this is the list of events I think we should consider for 2019. I have also added the potential dates we can 
use to plan  the Gatherings for next year. I am sure I left important events behind. This is why I  bring the 
list here in advance, so we can discuss off line and try to reach a conclusion during the f2f meeting.

### Events for 2019

        * Prior to FOSDEM
