I get space is a premium resource but instead of a random integer
representing the number of events it would make more sense to show all
events occurring in the next (random integer) 3 months.  To preserve space
and avoid overloading the reader the number could still be capped (at say 5)
but the 5 that are shown should rotate on a daily basis from all those
occurring in the next 3 months.  A short blurb like "showing 5 of 17 events
in the next 3 months - click <here> to view all of them" could point people
further into the bowels of the website/wiki.
