In the time since we have added the event section and are populating it with things that come across our desk, there has been an uptick in google searches that hit the event posts. From my perspective, this says at least these two things: our site is being indexed by search engines pretty well (maybe better than the pages we link to), and there is some value in posting events (including bringing people to our site.

As always, we are limited to add events that we are aware of. If you see something interesting that is not already in the events section, please add it so that others have the chance to attend if they wish.

On a related note, there is an issue with the calendar view and long events titles spilling over into other days squares. That has been fixed by the developers and should be sorted in the next point release.
