A little draft of things todo (contact the team if you want to help!):

• RSS feed for upcoming events listed at www.debian.org/events

• contact people of DUG and LocalGroups asking them to provide info if they organize a Debian-related event

• collect useful promoting materials (see, for instance: http://lists.debian.org/debian-publicity/2012/02/msg00062.html). Having someone able to do promotional videos (also for DebConf) would be great!
