<p dir="ltr">Please have a look at <a href="http://events.kde.org">events.kde.org</a>. The upcoming events there are created from a proper calendar file. This should get more exposure and be integrated better.</p>

<p dir="ltr">I think we should not give the impression that this is just for developers. I like Albert's suggestion.</p>
