Global footer: Add Events and remove WordCamp link

[ndiego]

This PR adds Events (events.wordpress.org) to the global footer navigation on WordPress.org. It also removes the WordCamp link.

This corresponds to the new landing page WordPress/wordcamp.org#1009, and should only be merged once the new page is live.

Awesome, thanks! :D

I have less hesitancy in adding it to the footer than I do to the header (#515). I would push us to think about how we can bubble up how fun and useful WordPress events are. I think wp.org doesn't have enough fun embedded and events are one of the easier ways to communicate it. I think a list item is fine but very easy to miss.

If our goal is to get people to WordPress events, let's get at it!

Nevermind the styles, I'm sure there's a nicer more elegant way to do this

+1 to find a very prominent place for highlighting Events in the footer, I'll leave that to the designers ;)

P.S.- We should plan to edit the homepage of https://wordpress.org/ to highlight and get traffic to the new Events landing page, because right now, the homepage doesn't mention much about it, just one simple link called: "Meet local WordPress users"

@ndiego let me know if you can open a ticket for that or if you prefer me to do it, thanks! :D

I think a banner like that could backfire if it's used instead of a link in the menu, because of banner blindness. It wouldn't hurt if it's in addition to a regular link, though.

I experience that regularly with the Tickets buttons on WordCamp sites. My eyes skip right over the big colorful button (what the site wants me to focus on) and go straight to the menu (what I want to focus on). On most of the Web that's essential to avoid all the BS, but it's a habit that carries over even to sites that I trust.

Sorry @dorsvenabili, not sure how I missed this. If you can open a ticket, if you haven't already, that would be great.

@StevenDufresne @iandunn What do you all think about moving ahead and merging this PR and then handling additional updates, like to the homepage content or the additional of a banner, in a new issue?

[StevenDufresne]

Good by me.
