I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool gath.io

The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

@darius viel zu schnell gesprochen wie immer und das nicht alle Englisch kΓΆnnen und MΓΆgen haben alle noch nicht mitbekommen. Das Ganze ist doch nichts anderes wie mastodon . Warum sollte ich oder jemanden anders Wechseln = denn hier das Mastodon ist sehr gut. und der Entwickler genauso @Gargron von daher bin ich bei Mastodon und tuten sehr zu frieden

@darius hey Darius is there an ActivityStreams like vocabulary for events? We also produce events from app.whatscookin.us and would love to output them in a friendly schema

@darius uh one more dumb question - where exactly are the fields of w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Even defined? I just see the link back to w3.org/TR/activitystreams-voca which has an example

There is a schema.org event, schema.org/Event

but the activitystreams event just inherits all properties from Object so its basically just a type?

@gvelez17 you have now run into one of the big problems with the Activity Vocabulary spec. it is very underspecified. so the properties that need to be there are: whatever the software you want to talk to requires πŸ™ƒ

@darius haha well it is flexible at least...

But if I want my stuff to be picked up by gath.io, are there clues somewhere? does gath.io want to pick up my events?

@gvelez17 gath is broadcast-only. It is for creating events that people subscribe to

@darius yeah I was hoping to have a federated model for events similar to messages

@darius @mfoster hey Mark looping you in, i don't think the answer is schema.org - the answer has to be lightweight and a thing that was already adopted - where would you suggest that eithe whatscookin or gath.io (am I saying taht right) should publish our lightweight spec?

So, if Twitter has "Tweet-Ups", Mastondon has "Tootenannys?"

@darius yes please! It seems Mobilizion isn't going to have much development and Friendica's event functionality isn't sufficent - I would *love* to see an event sharing focused fediverse platform! My whole town runs on FB right now and it sucks!

@darius Nice work. That's a really interesting approach to event sharing!
I recently realized that Mastodon are not planning to implement the "Event" activity, and I thought about making a "hack" where sharing events from another site would present it as a "Question" activity with replies "Going" and "Not going" to those that subscribe to the channel.
What are the reasons behind choosing to make a separate profile for each event instead? And wouldn't this be harder to share on other platforms? E.g. the event would "invite" users by sending them a follow request... but are there any ways to actually share an "event user", if you are not a moderator of it?
There are probably holes in my own suggestion as well. I was just wondering what the philosophy was behind this design?

@darius @thisismissem The screencast was really nice. But yeah, maybe I shared that wrong. Try following the event! :)

@darius sounds like this will be an interesting project to keep an eye on. πŸ™‚
