Comment (by iandunn):

 Replying to [comment:13 vertizio]:
 > The ‘Community Events’ widget could be tabbed. One tab for WordCamps,
 one for meetups. That way we still could stick to 3 items and not mix up
 the types of events.

 I think one of the great things about the way the widget is currently
 designed, is that the user doesn't have to do anything. Their location is
 detected automatically, and the relevant events are shown automatically.

 The goal of the widget is to promote WP events to users who aren't already
 aware of the community, so we can't expect them to do any work in order to
 get the information. We're just trying to pique their interest.

 If we switch to tabs, then the user has to do extra work to see the extra
 events, and I'd worry that the vast majority would never do that.

 The current approach feels like it lines up much more with the `design for
 the majority` and `decisions not options` part of
