Is there a way to organize events in discourse like facebook events?
Where you can see not only number of interested attendees(this probably can be managed using polls) but also their names or usernames.

Thanks to the efforts of @angus we now have the excellent Events Plugin. It includes support for his Locations Plugin which lets you specify locations, and browse future events by map.

Id love to see the rsvp features filled out some more, to make it more eventbrite like. Then we could really atart using discourse for organizing events.
