Let’s think big and try to catch two birds ẃith one stone! Bird 1 is to better suit // foss.events in helping cross-border and self-organised communities to organise events. And bird 2 to help further decentralise ours and their respective communication channels. Putting both ideas together, what could be a better fit than the Fediverse for this?

After several months of discussion and reflections today we like to introduce the idea of a Calendiverse, a frankenword for „The community-driven calendar in the Fediverse“:

Organising and participating in shared social events is a central activity of many communities. These events provide a space for existing members to meet and exchange ideas, while also serving as an introduction for newcomers. The Calendiverse enables self-organised but decentralised, undefined and even unstable communities – and their potentially anonymous members – to maintain a shared calendar, interacting with it both individually and collectively. Naturally, the calendar is free software/open source, giving users full control over their data, content and access while seamlessly connected to the Fediverse.

For practical reasons and for the time being you will always find the latest version at https://3rik.cc/calendiverse/calendiverse.en.html

We are very sorry, we are currently not able to offer a more advanced version of the concept including a version history … we hope to change this in future, for the time being it is simply the easiest way to go.
