I do not see the Events pages as 'dynamic content': you organize something, you announce it and it is added to those pages. For everything which is dynamic, there is the wiki, which is usually linked From the Events page: <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/> >> > - We drop the events page. >> > >> > Alternative options are of course welcome.
