Comment:

 Thanks @metalandcoffee, I think [attachment:41112.diff] moves this forward
 :)

 My hunch is that we'll also need some changes on the API side. In some
 active cities, there can be 2-3 meetup events per week. Since Core only
 requests 5 events from the API, the WordCamp wouldn't show up in the API
 response until about 2-3 weeks before the date.

 Regardless of that, though, this is still an improvement on the current
 situation. If the API changes are languishing, then maybe we can do
 something like this for 5.0, and then iterate on it once the API is ready.
 If anyone wants to work on that side of things, the details are in
 #meta2994, and
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02QB8GMM/p1508511323000272 I posted
 some instructions for setting up the dev environment in Slack].

 I think the widget will probably feel the most intuitive to people if the
 camp is just listed in the normal chronological flow, rather than having a
 fixed position at the top. We
 [https://make.wordpress.org/community/2017/03/23/showing-upcoming-local-
 events-in-wp-admin/#comment-23295 talked about it a bit before], but there
 wasn't a lot of feedback, so I'm definitely open to other ideas if you
 think having it at the top is better.
