More generally, and to follow up on our discussion yesterday about better coordination, I think I'd like to integrate that kind of announcements into a central page on mw.o that would also list Tech chats, tech-related IRC office hours, QA testing sessions, upcoming deployments, etc.
The goal would be both for us and for contributors to have a clearer view of what's coming up. I may take a stab at a [[mw:Project:Calendar]] next week and transclude part of it into [[mw:How to contribute]].
So, I've done this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Guillom/sandbox
For now, it only contains content taken from [[Events]] and the "testing/bugs wheel". I'm fairly happy with functionality and looks, and I think we can start using it and adding more events.
The information is centralized on that page, but using LST, it's also possible to selectively pull information from it to display on topic-specific pages. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Guillom/sandbox2 for examples.
There is probably room for improvement; feel free to add to the talk page or the #Todo section. If [[wikia:uncyclopedia:Nobody cares]], I'll move this to the proper place and I'll start transcluding its content.
PS: For those interested, there's some doc at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Event
