Many of tasks should have dedicated PRs

Setup

• Install wporg-parent-2021 theme via Composer
• Create basic wp-events-2023 child theme
• Activate child theme on root Events site
• Update Events homepage redirect to only redirect if ! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ), so contributors can test

Archives

• events.wordpress.org - Show all upcoming WP events (including WordCamps, meetups, and NextGen)
• events.wordpress.org/city/year/ - show a list of all the events in that city in that year
• events.wordpress.org/city/event-title - show a list of all events in that city with that title, or a variation of the title (e.g., event-title-2, event-title-3, etc)

Design/Copy

• Homepage
• Archive pages
• Remove the / redirect so that the site root is available to everyone

Misc

• Search based on event/meetup name
• Filter based on date, location, online vs. in-person, topic, etc
• Events: Add geolocated events to Events landing page #1160
• Redirect make.w.org/community/events(-online) to events.w.org?

The basic functionality is done. I don't think there's anything more to do here until we get some design & marketing copy.

I think this is pretty much done, or has other issues open for remaining parts.
