this is the way it was intended by me as i did the patch. there is not
really a need for a freebsd-only events page because these get promoted
themselves but it is not easy to find out for freebsd people about
freebsd booths at non-freebsd-only events like linux-events or how could
someone know that there will be a freebsd booth at CCC Congress in
Berlin? this is imho the sense of making such a "events" page.

we have at least 2 events/ year in small austria with freebsd booths. i
am sure we will be able to fill this page with content.
