Hi 👋🏻 The feed is located at https://events.wordpress.org/feed/?post_type=wporg_events, since the events are in a custom post type¹, rather than the post post type.

That's not easily discoverable, though. Maybe we should remove the default feed, and replace it with the events instead? We're not currently publishing any post posts.

Or maybe we should leave the post feed, but add the wporg_events feed to all the pages?

[1] Technically they're stored in the wporg_events database table, but we have them mocked into the wporg_events post type so things like WP_Query work.

Good @iandunn! I think It would be enought if the main feed would be replaced, or if the link you posted is displayed or promoted in any link on the events page.
