Hi there!

This bug originated on the debian-www@ mailing list [1][2] and it was
then recently re-discussed on #debian-events, thanks to Paul Wise, so
let us going on and define what we want on the Events page.

Actually, as I partly wrote in [3], there are 4 types of events:

1) what is called now 'event', i.e. conferences or BSP, which means that
   Debian is present with a booth or is organizing the event.

2) talks, which while being a subset of the first point, it stresses on
   the fact that Debian is "showing" something.  The fact that we have
   Debian members available for such a task [4] without keeping note of
   their talks is a pity.

3) sprints [5], something specific to Debian, which since their creation
   have seen very useful results.

4) IRC meetings, not only the Debian-specific ones [6] but also the
   others Debian-related [7], i.e. every time there is a Debian
   participant, similarly to the first point.  These should provide
   links in the canonical IRC URI scheme [8].

[8] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat#URI_scheme>

Francesca's work below is about the second point, but IMHO which should
directly to further and implement all four points.

First question: which should be the layout?  I guess something like the
4-side for the 'Getting Debian' section [8] would be the best, but I
fear that on small screens everything would be too much packed.

Second question: while I prefer Francesca's solution of having
everything in one single folder, ordered by date (as it is now), what
do other people think about that?

These files are available at [1].

Thx, bye,

Good catch, bug closed, but as a wontfix since the solution has been
implemented in another "package" (wiki.d.o).
