Re: [UG-ADMINS] Re: UG exposure progress... :)

Joind.in already does CfP and it could maybe do ticket sales if we
contribute to it, i see no need to add yet another place where this
information needs to be added,
At least as a conference organizer i do not want to have yet another place
to add info to.

I'm not opposed to you grabbing that data and rendering it on the map, but
duplicating data entry points does not sound like a good idea IMO
