I've seen a few conference websites recently that have a page to highlight other communities. No strings, no sponsorships, just "communities we think you should know about". I really like this concept and want to do more of it.

The next www.conferencechats.org call starts in ~23 hours. Looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces.
