About the only thing I go to http://kwlug.org for is the info on
upcoming meetings (sometimes, past meetings) and, back in the day, the
FLOSS Fund recipients. While I listen to the podcasts from the
kwlug.org/podcasts page too, I never need to visit that page because
my podcatcher already contains the feed.

I would love to see the meeting schedule done with a native Drupal
calendar module, with, of course, an iCal (.ics) feed.

But taking a step back -- what on kwlug.org requires Drupal? Is the
site perhaps light enough that it could be run on a flat-file content
management system like Dokuwiki, Jekyll, Pelican, or Nikola?
