Mmm,
I hadn't through the complexity of my request for this deceptively 
simple problem.
Agreed, standardized structured data is part of the ultimate solution. 
Do you enter every event and swamp the user with noise?
I guess a user would want to subscribe to a number of domain or 
geography specific calendars.
Eg: For me I'd be looking for calendars for:
OSGeo International Events
OGC International Events
OGC Testbed X Events (for the testbeds I'm involved in)
Australian National Geospatial Events
Aggregate of National Geospatial Events (Occasionally required to avoid 
classes when picking conference dates)
Australian local Geospatial Events
Mapbuilder meetings
OpenLayers meetings
Geotools meetings

Ah - it is all too hard!
