Comment:

 I agree with everything [comment:10 Andrea said above]. In short, Meetups
 and WordCamps are community-related things (affirmed by their global nav
 grouping) and not directly contribution-related things, which is the
 purpose of the Make homepage and network of sites.

 As such, I'm inclined to close this ticket as wontfix.

 Beyond that, it has been over three years since the last meaningful
 comment and over four since the main discussion.

 Since those discussions, the subnav on the main Make site has expanded
 from only having:
 - "Meetings" and "Team Updates"
 to having:
 - "Meetings", "Team Updates", "Project Updates", "Five for the Future",
 "Contributor Handbook".

 Adding more than maybe one additional link will likely cause the navbar to
 wrap links.

 Also, I don't recall what the main global nav had at the time, but as
 noted above, "WordCamp" and "Meetups" appear under "Community", which is
 quite prominent and more appropriate.

 Finally, the page is long overdue for a redesign (which is undoubtedly on
 the docket somewhere), so a full analysis of the page, its design, and its
 use-cases will be undertaken.
