* School calendar, if at a school. Watch out for school vacations, spring break, midterms, final exams.
* General holidays and three day weekends. We accidentally scheduled an event once for a three day weekend and it was very sad.
* Season: publicity/attendance can be very hard during the summer and holiday seasons, both because students are off campus and because contacts such as mailing list admins and organization leaders/outreach officers may be on vacation. (We seem to get 75% response from mailing list admins during the school year and 0-10% response during the summer.)
