I haven't really looked at everything to find what's new, but along with the 3.7 update we're going to add a vBA portal, but I'm not going to integrate that untill I'm done with everything else, since 3.7 isn't at a release state, yet.

Any possibility of being able to add our own events and such to the calender?

I'd love to see an active calendar with others stuff on the homepage/portal.

It's possible. Haven't really played arround with the calendar much, though, so I'm not clear on the extents of its capabilities.

I'm still on ocean

Well, it'd be cool to have that. If it was on our main profile page or portal page, you could set goal deadlines for certain features and stuff like that.
