Not sure what you think of that. I think it's going too far. Embedding
the listing is one thing (although the calagator credit is at the
bottom of the page), but clicking those links IMO should take you to
calagator.org.
Still, that looks like an SAO project and I can't imagine they'd do that w/o pinging the core Calagator folks. Someone here probably knows what's up, yes?

The technical team responsible for building out the Techlandia events
calendar feed worked with Reid Biels to make sure that it was built to
leverage and give credit and visibility to Calagator. I will check in
with Reid and the rest of the team tomorrow to discuss this in greater
detail. While someone might argue that the user experience is not as
seamless as it could be when you jump from one site to the next, I
don't see a huge issue in modifying this so that when a visitor clicks
on the link, he or she is taken to the original Calagator page.
Ward--I hope you feel comfortable giving me a call or dropping me a
line at any point on any issue whatsoever. I'm happy to chat if you
have issues with the Techlandia website (which is still very much a
work in progress) or any projects that SAO (also very much a work in
progress) is involved in.

Thanks, Ward. I agree completely. The intention with Techlandia is
not to try to be Calagator nor to diminish the dedication or work of
volunteers who want to help support the tech community. If you or
anyone else would you be willing to write a blog post for Techlandia
on how to use Calagator, that would be fantastic. Please let me know.
