The guidelines for events are not about what is listed on the events page, those are available here: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/NewsEventsApproval#Approving_Events_and_Event-Related_News_.28excluding_training.29 <https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/NewsEventsApproval#Approving_Events_and_Event-Related_News_.28excluding_training.29>

The guidelines are for recognizing what constitutes a *community* event versus an event about PostgreSQL, i.e. this sentence:
