Which calendar? We have two...

The "official" events calendar, as shown in places like 
http://community.apache.org/calendars/ , is actually powered by a shared 
google calendar. If you're a member of the ComDev PMC, let us know your 
google account email address and we'll grant that event karma so you can 
add it directly. If not, let us know the details and one of us can add it 
for you

The "weekly what's on listing" by email and tweet, which is culled from 
meetup.com events and friends, via 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/tools/events_list/ . To get 
something included in that, I think it needs a patch to the code in that 
SVN location

We could always use more community folks!

It sounds like these could be a good candidate for including in the weekly 
"upcoming meetups" email and tweet. If you're already got a nicely curated 
list, we might even be able to pull it into the generation app as-is

Most of the folks currently looking after that app are a bit snowed under 
this close to ApacheCon. If you can add in an import from your stuff to 
the app now, great! If not, hopefully one of them can take a look in a few 
weeks time

I'm not a member of ComDev PMC, but always happy to help if you need more
"community geeks".

Based on other responses, it sounds like I just need to do a better job of
promoting virtual events in advance.  I've been running about 1 week ahead
for my communities' own newsgroups.

I'm not exactly sure what to do for the other calendar since these events
are entirely virtual, and not currently promoted on any central calendar
other than my employer's own open source community calendar.
