I recently posted this on LibrePlanet and in response people shared various resources[10] tracking events. Are there any more examples people could share?
I assume you mean mainly Free Software events, right? (Because meanwhile the FSFE is also present at non-software events with booths.)
That is an interesting point. There is no reason not to use the same technology and databases to catalogue non-IT related events where free software communities have a presence. Whatever technical solutions we develop and use for this would ideally work for any type of event.
I would add https://lwn.net/Calendar/ and for speakers (or those who want to become speakers) https://lwn.net/Calendar/Monthly/cfp/
CFP is a very good point to. It would actually be really interesting to try and build a system that presents registration deadlines and CFPs as tasks (VTODO objects with deadlines) in iCalendar feed so that if people see something they want to do, they can import it into their task list with a click.
What's also missing in German, but not limited to German events http://www.pro-linux.de/kalender/index1.html
I just remembered http://grical.org/ but I don't know how active it is anymore. (I heard from an organisation that they are currently planing to create a new aggregator for events about surveillance, privacy, Free Software, Open Hardware, etc. in Germany.)
Thanks for suggesting these too.
