Good timing on the calendar. I was going to suggest having one on the wiki
where everyone could contribute.
Perhaps a Google Spreadsheet would be nice.
Is the calendar open/crowd-sourced?

Hello Marc and Florian,
If we consider what Thunderbird does, I think it is a good compromise
solution.
When an upgrade is available, it is offered directly to the end-user
through a pop-up and the end-user can download the upgrade only instead
of downloading the whole install package (200mb).
Great work on getting the grant, very good news.
I went to check the Donate page in French (I am in Quebec, we speak
French), and the links to the statutes and the manifesto are documents in
English.
Are these documents available in French?
It might be easier to get people to donate to TDF/adopt
