Home page map content to reference Events calendar on g.d.o

We (gdemet, amazon, jredding, chrisstral) had a quick discussion and think the home page map should only contain event/group data pulled from
http://groups.drupal.org/events

Is it pretty straightforward to add the geographic field to events as it has been done to profiles?

Also, the map popups need to stay within the map zone and not obscure any text, so images are going to need to be kept small.

Then after the map is populated w/ content from the (which will take some time), we can reevaluate if anything else should appear.
