bug(content): Community page links to old event lineup (2020) #1902

Open onkoe opened 5 months ago

What needs to be fixed?

On the Community section of rust-lang.org, under the Events heading, there's a button that asks users to "Check out the 2020 Conference lineup." It dates the page a bit, making it seem outdated despite everything working fine. 🫣

Page(s) Affected

It seems to be present only on the /community page.

Suggested Improvements

  1. Refactor the text to be something like:
    • See Previous Conferences
    • Check Out Previous Conferences
    • etc.
  2. Consider changing the link to point to another list of conferences. I couldn't find a match on the Rust Blog (blog.rust-lang.org), but it may exist elsewhere! For example, foundation.rust-lang.org has a list of previous events from late 2020 and beyond!
  3. Remove the button..?

If we decide to change the button text, I'm happy to PR a change quickly, or someone else can work to make it sound perfect!

I'm also good to work on the other two ideas or anything else, though I may need time to gather sources, ensure compliance with the site styling, etc.

Thanks for taking a look at this minor issue! 😄✨

At this point since the events team isn't super active I'd say we should remove the button, or perhaps comment it out (in case we need the translations later)
