The more I wrote, the more I thought I should move this thread to a different 
list, though I'm not entirely sure which list is more appropriate.

I'm already watching http://drupal.org/events, and I'm already subscribed to 
drupal-con, so I guess that's as good as it gets.  It still feels to me that 
events kind of popup rather unannounced (or, more correctly, with short 
notice).  I guess if I hang around long enough I'll just know when to expect 
something, and plan that way.

What would be nice, however, is a page somewhere which has something to the 
effect of: "Drupal will be (is usually) represented at these 
<insert-some-number-here> major <conferences/conventions/events/whatever>, 
which are usually held at these time frames:...", etc.  If I knew what the 
blanks were, and what to fill in for them, I'd be happy to create or modify 
the relevant page or pages.  With just knowing the major conferences that 
Drupal is likely to be represented at, I could probably generate the rest of 
the information.
