It would be terrific to see how people are aggregating their workshop
announcements and creating a local presence. We don't have a template for
that, but it would be a great idea, incorporating some of the ideas Titus
suggested.

I started a new repository 'carpentries/partners' and an issue about the
website templates

https://github.com/carpentries/partners/issues/1

It would be great to get examples there of what people are doing and see if
we can work towards a template.

We do have a Community Calendar that lists SWC/DC events, but not workshops
in particular.
