There are currently 22 pending Events, of which 8 are between now and
Christmas.

Currently, the home page has space for 3 events. That clearly isn't
enough to accommodate the increasing number of events that are being
organised worldwide - especially around release time. I was going to
arrange some 8.2 release talks in the UK, but it seems like nobody will
ever see them until the day before they happen.

ISTM we should have space for 6-7 events at a time, plus a small
indicator that shows how many events are not displayed (simply use some
text to show how many others there are e.g. "37 more" rather than
"more").

Right now we have a big space underneath Support Us. The whole Support
Us section could be moved underneath Featured User and still be visible.
That space could then be used for Latest News, allowing the Upcoming
Events to be twice the height on page. Everything still on page, just
better use of space.

Those changes will translate directly into extra hits for the supporters
of PostgreSQL who make their living from training, or who wish to
promote us further.
