Hey Mastodons, I hear you like open source and federation, so I'd like to tell you about https://gettogether.community/ an open source, federated(*) event planning service similar to Meetup

It's free to use, and while it's still very early development it is live! Try it yourself, share it with your friends, start a team ahd have a Get Together! #gettogether

* Federation is simple and minimal, any help would be most welcomed. Source code is at https://github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetTogether https://mastodon.cloud/media/cPwAJ8QWw5m9yjpJqQk

@mhall119 It's a cool idea but also looks like it needs a LOT more basic development before release into the wild. Keep us posted as it comes together though! The more it can be integrated to Mastodon, the better.

@mhall119 I suggest using ActivityPub for federation. There's no other platform that has implemented events/places in AP yet but it doesn't mean they won't appear, and other apps like Mastodon could add support or semi-support for displaying the data (like how PeerTube/Mastodon integration works).

@mhall119 does it work with the brand new Activity Pub standard? https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/
ActivityPub

The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [ActivityStreams] 2.0 data format. It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and content.

@mhall119 Absolutely down with this; we saw the integration between PeerTube and Mastodon via ActivityPub recently in that w3c announcement...

#gettogether is right in my wheelhouse, as I'm a #Python and #Django developer. Let's figure out how to perfect federated calendars in space.

@gdorn Take a look at the project code: https://github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetTogether/

If you're not familiar with Django, the relevant data models are in ./events/models/, they should be self-explanatory enough to see what we have available to federate

@mhall119 too sad... I can not create my team based in Switzerland, after typing the country... the city list is empty and I can't proceed further 😟
Any Idea?
Show threadAloïs CochardJan 30, 2018

@mhall119 nevermind! I did not understand I could directly type the city name here... all good now :)

Thanks for sharing, this is awesome.

@alois No worries, those fields aren't exactly intuitive. I was hoping to find a pre-made Javascript widget that did the search & select in one, but haven't found one yet.
