[SGVLUG] Calendars and Active L.A. lugs (was upcoming interesting conferences)

[Dan Kegel]

There have been lots of similar efforts.
The problem is not the technical details (static web page, web ring,
wiki, rss feeds, whatever),
but rather the effort of maintenance.

I for a long time have offered svn access to anyone who wants
to update the lalugs.org page.  However, it turns out that svn
is a foreign language for most of the people who want to
do updates there.

I should probably turn lalugs.org into a wiki so that
non-developers feel comfortable updating it.
