Hi Bob,

Helping out here is easy and is a task that can be dipped into periodically.

Take a look at http://comdev1-us-west.apache.org/events/, this is an application we use to gather information for http://www.apache.org/events/meetups.html

It's an automated process that will result in false positives at times. To remove the false positives we can do two things:

1) Mark a specific event as "not applicable" - which removes this one event
2) Mark an organizing group as "not applicable" - which prevents any future events organized by the same group appearing

To help with this process all we need is people to visit the page periodically and click the appropriate link on the right hand side.  The more people we have doing this the easier it is for all of us.

Moving forwards we need to improve the code driving this application. If you'd like to work with the code see http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/tools (hopefully what you need to get started is in readme.md)
