I've found a calendar. But I need a little more than this... I've got hundreds of volunteers. I want my site to have the ability for these volunteers to signup to volunteer for an event on a specific day or days.
For instance, userA views calendar, chooses event and signs up. Then as that event approaches, I can have a list of volunteers. Would be nice of the scheduler could also send a reminder email to them in advance of the event--1 day, 7 days, 10 days, etc.
Does this mod exist? Anyone interested in writing it quickly for a couple of cases of good beer?
Thanks.

You could have a look at the event.module and the remindme.module. The remindme.module allows users to signup for a reminder about a particular or all events. You could generate a list of users who have done this.

You can set up a Drupal site
You can set up a Drupal site that is completely differnt from Drupal.org so it is not always a good idea to judge the programm after the site.
New comments could be moderated but the site owners have not yet chosen to do so.

Web Calendar Port?
Any chance of porting Web Calendar as a Drupal module?
Something like that (which includes calendar sharing and groups) would be beneficial.
Porting existing applications
Porting existing applications to Drupal has been found difficult. It would probably be easier to add features to the existing event module.

To Do List
Drupal is all based around the concept of nodes and taxonomies. Those seem to be the two main features that set it apart. Solutions that are built on these concepts work well with Drupal.
So, something like an update to the event module (which actually could use lots of updating, including stuff like per-user events/calendars). Event "categories" are already handled by taxonomy.
The groups module needs to be finished/updated.
And then remindme (and potentially notify).

Try new signup module
The new signup module allows users to sign up for events.
Information is available at:
http://drupal.org/node/view/6047.
Recurring events
I've seen a few people post about another limitation of the event.module -- recurring events. This would be extremely beneficial to my site, and I'm sure many others.
Just wondering whether the event.module developer/s are planning to tackle this issue in the near future? If not, is there anyone else out there who can come up with a patch?
This is a big request of
This is a big request of mine. Recurring events are a necessity for sites I'd consider using Drupal for -- in fact, event calendaring is a main feature of the "community plumbing" I need for various sites.
It looks like CivicSpace may be helping with that, but I have a hard time understanding their site, having only just found it last night.
View a list of my reminders
Anybody have a patch to the remindme.module that allows a user to view the list of reminders they currently have set? Delete reminders that are set, etc? I would really like that functionality.
Thanks,
Andy
Events
Poor events module. Everybody wants something different. It's hard for one module to do everything. I tried the event module, but later decided to use flexinode to capture my event content, and then the page module to display a custom php event application which I wrote to fit my needs.
Here's an example of my events page, http://news.plu.edu/?q=/node/view/130
You might try something like this.
Do you have your custom php
Do you have your custom php event application available for others to re-use? It looks pretty handy, especially on your well-designed page.
