Thanks Michael, I have updated the blog entry with your additions. I will definitely look to pull something together for 2011. Perhaps a dedicated webpage with a calendar including proposal deadlines, etc. Cheers!

For 2011, I’d really appreciate the proposal deadline inclusion.

Yes, indeed I will put up a page for 2011. I looked into some PHP calendar code last night in order to make an interactive page. May end up being a static page but I will have to see.
Updated again to include ICTSS Conference in Natal, Brazil!
Updated to include the Next Generation Testing Conference 2010. Thanks to Selena Delesie for forwarding.
