Thanks for this list @dims!
I've found the Kubernetes Community Calendar to be very useful for finding which SIG Meetings are happening on a day and to get quick access to the meeting notes (without importing all meetings to a personal calendar). Could be a good addition to the Developer Resources.

Done @sixeyed ! thanks.

Hi @dims

Thanks for this list. I found Kubernetes the hard way an excellant way to know about how all the things that come together to make a functional cluster. Please consider adding it.
