Just want to point out that it's not *my* calendar, it's the GNOME
community calendar, there are 15 people who can add events to it (even
though it seems I'm the only one who does), and I heartily encourage
people to suggest events and dates that should be added there.

What's wrong with that?

Not pages, please - diffs.

I'm more interested right now in content changes, but a layout change
for the front page (which should of course come through the marketing
list for comment & review) might be considered.

This is a valuable contribution, and an important step to becoming one
of those who, as you describe it, have more access and backing from the
community.


Cheers,
