Event bundling

[nmlorg]

Groups will sometimes have things like "event weekends", with multiple related events within a day or so (sometimes multiple events the same day), and when people advertise them manually they often group those events separately from unrelated ones (if at all):

Fun Weekend
Friday 8pm - Social event at Fun Bar
Saturday noon - Food event at Fun Restaurant
Saturday 8pm - Social event at Fun Club
Sunday noon - Brunch event at Fun Cafe

Don't forget!
Wednesday 7pm - Bowling at Normal Lanes

 
Given:

Tue 8pm Alpha Event
Thu 8pm Bravo Event
Fri 8pm Charlie Event
Sun 8pm Delta Event
Mon 8pm Echo Event
Wed 8pm Foxtrot Event

we could try to infer this kind of structure by:

1. grouping events by week and weekend:

   This week
   Tue 8pm Alpha Event
   Thu 8pm Bravo Event

   This weekend
   Fri 8pm Charlie Event
   Sun 8pm Delta Event

   Next week
   Mon 8pm Echo Event
   Wed 8pm Foxtrot Event

2. grouping events by contiguousness:

   This week
   Tue 8pm Alpha Event

   This weekend
   Thu 8pm Bravo Event
   Fri 8pm Charlie Event

   Continuing
   Sun 8pm Delta Event
   Mon 8pm Echo Event

   Next week
   Wed 8pm Foxtrot Event

3. grouping events by contiguousness, but forcing weekend events together:

   This week
   Tue 8pm Alpha Event

   This weekend
   Thu 8pm Bravo Event
   Fri 8pm Charlie Event
   Sun 8pm Delta Event
   Mon 8pm Echo Event

   Next week
   Wed 8pm Foxtrot Event
