I'm starting to use the events functionality, and I'm afraid I dont see how to create a recurring event or how to view events in a calendar type view, rather than as a list.
Is there a way to do these things, or do i need to be looking for additional modules?

thanks.

Events requires the Date module, which has a submodule for repeating dates (Date Repeat API + Date Repeat Field). Enabling those would allow you to change the date field on the Event content type to a repeating date field, and then use the Calendar module to show all events on a calendar view.

So, to be clear, Drupal Commons still does not support recurring events as separate nodes so that things like RSVPs, locations, etc. can be different for each instance of a recurring event?

All events are currently separate nodes, so RSVPs, locations, etc are unique to each specific event node. However, there is no Commons-supported method for creating a recurring event at this time.

With that said, this would be made a bit easier by using Rules. Create a rule that triggers on adding a new node, with the condition that it's an event node. The actions would be then to set data values for the new dates depending on how you want them to repeat.
