I see you noticed the "by date" I added - Nice idea to match them by
year too, thanks :)

Just looked at the events page you created:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SouthDakotaTeam/Events

The regex match is used on purpose, I really don't care about the bold
letters, but I do care about the time it takes it to appear :) Without
the regex it looks through all the pages in the whole ubuntu wiki.

Using the regex it restricts it to your team only, but I guess a
change like that would be more appropriate.
The CategoryEvents is intentional again, in case someone decides to
create that category :)

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm using this for dates:
<<PageList(category:CategoryEventsByDate regex:^CypriotTeam/Events/200[89])>>
and this for past events:
<<PageList(category:CategoryCypriotTeamPastEvents regex:^CypriotTeam/Events/)>>
