I started a (very bad) page at Meta-Wiki for future events: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_in_meatspace.
If anyone else could give it some love, that would be appreciated. :-)
No reason that you couldn't scrape and push into an iCal format (or whatever) from that. Worth doing?
Absolutely worth doing, in my opinion. I'd first like to get the page/system a bit more established (and fill in some of the past years), but supporting iCal/gCal/etc. through a MediaWiki extension or a Toolserver tool would be awesome.

What's the difference between that page and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Events? We should clarify what the difference is, if any. Then again, maybe it's okay if the two overlap. :-)
Err, didn't really know about the "Events" page. :-) It seems to list only current information, but the page history is probably ripe with good information that can be pulled out and stored in the subpages of the new system.
Actually, "Events" is not particularly focused on current stuff, the great majority of items are actually for past events over the last several years.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Events
Definitely there should be some kind of merge, and we'll figure out whatever the best format is and go with that.

I know I did look at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup before creating "Wikimedia in meatspace," but the "Meetup" page had a note about being outdated and unmaintained at the top. At some point it probably makes sense to re-evaluate and/or merge some of these pages (the "beyond the web" series), though my intention is for "Wikimedia in meatspace" to be purely informational while subpages of "Meetup", etc. are more for active collaboration and coordination.
