Hello, similar to but slightly different than my previous issue about it being more difficult than it could be to find an upcoming sprint (https://github.com/canonical/canonical-indico-customization-files/issues/19) I'd like to suggest that the categories on https://events.canonical.com/ are a bit confusing:

Community Conferences
Internal Events
UbuCon
Ubuntu Summit

I'm one of a handful of staff attending the Ubuntu Summit next week and because it's pretty new, the name isn't yet firmly imprinted in my mind: I still think of it as "UDS-alike". When I was uncertain of the name, I went through all four categories to find it. (It didn't help me that we hide some events that are only two weeks in the future but show events from a year ago. That's the previous issue, though.)

I think Community Conferences could be renamed Externally-organized Events. (After-all, our Ubuntu Summit and UbuCon are events we run for our community.)

I'm not sure the distinction between UbuCon and Ubuntu Summit is useful to most of us; please consider merging these two categories. If there's a good reason to keep them separate that I don't see, that's fine, but if not please consider simplifying this menu of choices.

Thanks
