There is one sentence that lets me ask whether you understand theworkings of a rule based system: "...the rules that generate the events...".
The essential idea of a RBS is the selection of data ("facts") based on its
attributes by conditions being evaluated over combinations of
data items. Then, as a secondary activity, the RBS may be instructed
to create additional facts.
Generating facts out of Nothing is not the forte of a RBS; I don't see how
you could write rules that generate "events" by deriving them out of - what?
Perhaps you could provide more background?

Hi
I have an application where I want to generate calendar events. Each event
will have an attached resource and people will be able to book themselves to
this event. The events are re-occuring in that they are on fixed time each
day/weekday etc, like "every friday 07:00 -12:00 unless holiday" or
something like that. The events shall be batch generated at beginning of
each month and put into a database. I want the rules that generate the
events to have some kind of DSL to be easily readable also for
non-technishians.
My question, would drools be a suitable tool for this task? I've been trying
to find examples on the above but couldn't find any.
