Yes & no -- Yes in the sense that people will be able to post about events
and have these events associated with a city's homepage, such that if
someone visited a city's page, they could find out about it even if the news
article had already passed off the bottom of the main screen for that city.
But no, not yet in the sense of an actual "calendar."

Are you thinking something like a two-dimensional month-based calendar like
ones that hang on the wall, or just something/anything to help get the word
out (i.e., whatever works, works)?
An editor of a loc page will be able at any time to place relevant text (and
links) in the column on the left, which can be seen by anyone stopping by
that page. The links can be anything -- to a web page, or to a news
article, or whatever -- or the text can contain interleaved links and
descriptions. An editor of the San Francisco page, for example, could type
in a paragraph as rich full of links as this...
<http://www.baylug.org/ BayLUG> is having its next get together at the
Fremont Library on Tuesday evening, August 10, 1999. David Harris has
posted some <http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/ca/sf/?n=357 directions>.
Mark Benz <http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/ca/sf/?n=212 noted> that the
previous BayLUG get together made the local newspaper, and Russell Clark
took some <http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/ca/sf/?n=223 photos>.
...and something like that might come out looking something like this:
http://www.lugnet.com/temp/foo-loc.us.ca.sf.html
Whole news articles (in box/brief form) will also be able to float around
from section to section very easily, without having to type external text
like above -- people will be able to snarf news articles for their own
pages, or for main category pages (if they're an editor of that area), so
that news can propagate around the system (and stay put when needed) in
newer and better ways.
