Cool.. perhaps we should centralize all our content like that?  My
only problem with that we can't expect everyone who joins engagement
to know how to use git.  So it might be nice to have some way to copy
the content to our cloud storage solution.

Could we put this in cloud.gnome.org?

We should create one for Europe and then start putting sub pages in.
Do you have regular meetings?  Anybody who is having regular meetings
if you could be so kind to put minutes on the engagement-list that
would be great.  That way we can see what each community is doing.
Each time we do, we build momentum.  I want our developers to be
excited too. :)

Cool!
