There is http://www.fsf.org/events, but I don't really think we need to link to
it specifically. Seems like just a link to gnu.org and a link to fsf.org would
be good enough, and people can find everything they want from there.

I just don't think it makes sense to have it on the front page, the number of
active GNU webmasters is very small, and to everyone else that's just extra
text on the page. We can (and probably do) talk about being a webmaster in the
Help section.
