Oh crap I gotta figure out a http://pythonclock.org message for after New Years…

@aaronpk we should probably do our once-every-two-years thing where we actually meet up and talk about this stuff since we live in the same city huh

@aaronpk Oh cool! Yeah, tbh my main issue with most events solutions out there is that their federation models seem really weird to me. It was important for me to make an event (lower case) into an Actor that people can follow, and then it can send out Events. Other implementations take the AS2 vocab spec too literally and make human users their Actors, and you follow a human and they emit Events that they "own" over time

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 https://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.

With a use of cross-platform authenticators this should not be much of a problem. You use a YubiKey to log into your site and in the admin panel there would be a button that enrolls your platform authenticator too. I think I saw something like this in the spec’s GitHub issues, can’t remember where exactly.

Subscribed, and happy birthday!
