[Board] Proposal: reboot community calendar

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

Since there is an Outreach Committee meeting today, and since no objection
has been raised to the idea of a community calendar reboot (nor has there
been a request to defer discussion), I'll take that as tacit consent to
proceed.

Regards,

Galen
