I'd suggest that it is either removed or replaced with something 
more informative, so that people know what is coming and what 
events that have taken place. The only reason I noticed is 
because I was looking for prospective D events, and went to the 
most obvious place.

To a stranger a calendar like that gives the impression that 
nothing has been happening in the community and there is no 
interaction within the D community, or outreach.

There should also be details of DConf and such things. I'd 
contrast this with the Rust community page and calendar.

Right now I don't even know how to find out about DConf from the 
dlang website. I might get lucky and find out through Twitter or 
something, but if I didn't know it existed, it would be pretty 
difficult for me to find out.

Don't underestimate the power of FOMO! If on the events page 
you're seeing pictures and details of things from the conference 
and events you've missed, for those interested (and there will be 
some) it will make them more determined to take part next time.
