A similar calendar for LoCo events could also be neat; if I’m travelling I can check out the map and see all events in the next month or whatever the defined period is, as well as discover neat things going on in my current LoCo that I may not be aware of.

The LoCo part could be easy to manage in Launchpad, but it looks like the team itself cannot set a location, just the members. Anyway, just a thought on how to potentially make it even easier for someone to get involved/interested in LoCos and the Ubuntu community.
