We have a script that pulls all of the info we have out of The Perl 
Review's Google calendar. We currently have a task out there to modify 
this script to pull old events and put them on a history page. A 
volunteer is working on it. My plan was to have a history section and 
list events with one page for each year.

If you're really eager, I could talk to the volunteer and transfer the 
task to someone else. All of the code to build the yapc site is in 
Google code here:

http://tpf.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/yapc/yapc_org/

You can see the last item in the TODO list is the history thing.
