Tyler,

I don't see much need to push old events into the new mechanism.  I propose
we remove the Events link from under News, and blow away the old events_archive
page.  I shall do so if I don't hear otherwise fairly soon.

BTW, I think we at least need to get Michael or someone from Viscom helping
to submit events that OSGeo will be appearing at.

Best regards,
