@hgg Danke für die Erinnerung! Das werden dann wohl 2-3 neue Aufgaben für das #GatherPress Team.

So this made yesterday a lot more interesting than it perhaps needed to be:

“GatherPress, a WordPress-native event management tool being evaluated as the future of meetup coordination. If you’ve tested it, used it, or just have questions, come share your experience. Organizer feedback is exactly what the project needs.”

🌍 WCEU 2026 Contributor Day: Community Team Agenda

WordCamp Europe 2026 is just around the corner (do you have your ticket?), and Contributor Day in Kraków is shaping up to be one of the most focused and action-packed in recent memory. If you&#8217…

@therepository Maybe it's a good time to promote that #GatherPress is already capable of importing „The events calendar“ data. Just as an idea, if someone here is also active on the Post Status Slack.

@leoskull cool, na dann bleibe ich gespannt. Ich bin neugierig, weil ich an #GatherPress mitwirke und die „anderen“ event plugins immer die Basis dessen sind woran sich ein neues Plugin messen lassen kann.

Ich habe mir GigPressReborn jetzt auch mal angesehen und würde euch dringend empfehlen mal in GatherPress zu schauen. Auch wenn ich persönlich befangen bin, glaube ich, dass es die stabilere Basis bietet.

Dear @andyfragen , I’m wondering if any plugin could provide its own betas through the „#WordPress Beta Tester“ plugin in any way. Wondering for a #GatherPress community.

Have you been locked in? Vendor locked in? By a #WordPress event plugin?

Now is the time to escape, tell me the plugin you like to escape from, as I’m working on importers for #GatherPress.

@DianaThompson @111 In my wildest dreams: A public announcement about the re-opening of the core sustainability team, funded by the money, that was recently given to meetup and can be saved now thanks to the community-powered sustainable alternative #GatherPress .

@DianaThompson @111 (Damn, sometimes #depression rules my sayings. I could have also answered in the first place:)

Hey, nice you are interested in one of the coolest event plugins in the #WordPress space! We the people - working on #GatherPress, not as sponsored contributors, but as volunteers next to family and job, do 💯 appreciate that! It‘d be great if you find the time took test the plugin, add your thoughts to open discussions or even contribute some time coding or in the weekly meetings.

@DianaThompson @111 Thanks for both of your replies!
I want to clarify, that the #GatherPress itself is ongoing; it was just yesterday that the main maintainer opened a PR with 4000+ lines changed. Things are moving, but silently and with no more public involvement, other than Claude code.
I still believe that GatherPress is already a matured alternative to the most of event-calendar functionality in w.org/plugins, but its lack of visibility AND missing people contributing, is its real problem.
