There is also the Flyertalk Glossary which lists the definition of Do:

The definition is more closely aligned with Dan's definition:

If it's something an FTer is interested in, s/he will make plans to attend. If it's not, they won't. The nice part about Community Buzz & the Dos is there's pretty much something for everyone.
Big + 1 with
SkiAdcock's statements.
Personally I've had a good time at large, multiday Do's as well as single 2 hour restaruant Do's.
