- Events! Yes, events! They're a subtype of group with additional fields — namely, start and end times. There's no field for location yet. There will be one at some point in the future.
- You can tentatively join an event. This is my first custom activity type (sm:TentativeJoin).
- There are reminders for events like for birthdays (you can see one on the screenshots).
- There's a calendar that shows your events and friends' birthdays.

I guess I was thrown off by the statements that "They're a subtype of group" and "You can tentatively join an event." and even "Anyone can join any event freely.".

I don't normally "join" an event. Oh well. Don't mind me. I'm just trying to ensure that we don't end up with as many completely different and fundamentally incompatible event implementations as we currently have with groups. Nothing more.
