We have an events section on the right hand side. However websites
traditionally use the space in question to "advertise" what is going on
with whatever the project/product/service is about...

That big front area should be continually updated with new and exciting
things that are going on within the project.

OSCON, OSBC, LISA, Upcoming Feature Freeze... Beta...
