I have been trying to get something like this together since 2009 at least,
and was glad to see PHP.ug pickup and Andreas accomplish it.

I would love to see this integrated into php.net because it really needs to
do more with the community and not just the language.

I think the calendar idea sounds great, hopefully everyone has a calendar
available, but I offer my help and my Meetup API wrapper to integrate any
UGs that use meetup.
