might be neat to add some instructions here for how to get your event listed on our calendar or spotlighted in posts like this
cc @Manishearth if you wanted to start a Switchboard team repo and have instructions there, that might be nice!

i think we could add a few more sentences to this intro. something like "last year we wrote [link to last year] this year we are hoping to write a few posts spotlighting events that we have across the world. here are a few that we know of so far! if you have an event please contact XXX"
depending on if this goes out before or after our goals RFCs for comm team and the larger roadmap post we might allude to how these events help the language achieve goals XYZ

@sebasmagri Maybe we should mention Rust Day Mexico here as well? Also, we should mention there will be a fall edition of RustFest. |

For now I mention our mail address as we did that before.
@Manishearth feel free to suggest changes here.

we might consider saying "If you are running a Rust event or are interested in starting one..." we only have so much bandwidth but id rather get all the incoming and triage in community team rather than make it obscure as to how to do that. it's a nice gesture to give the option.

We should also add a link to: https://www.rustcon2k18.in/ |

@jonathandturner due to some shenanigans, i think we'll have to leave out promoting that conf for the moment. we can always make another post or update this one :) closing in favor #227 (which is this PR with some minor edits) |
This is my first go at an early rust event post for 2018.
Includes the three major conferences plus

This is a community team effort, coordination happening here: rust-community/team#196.
