On the radar: Mobilizon event management software

I came across a very promising project called Mobilizon, which will soon launch development. It will be a user-friendly event-managing software program which can be self-hosted. The project is in the funding phase, and there are plans to release a beta version in 2019.

Mobilizon is made by Framasoft, the organization which made PeerTube. Those folks clearly have a great track record.

I want to share this project on our forum just so we keep an eye on it. I get questions about event-managing software at conferences, and I agree that it is one of the most important tools which is missing from the FOSS ecosystem. People rely on Facebook because it offers very usable event-management software. If Mobilizon succeeds, I would love to find a way to integrate it into FreedomBox.

https://gettogether.community/ is another project doing the same. It is already in production.

The main difference between the projects is, that GetTogether does not support federation yet.

For public events there is also the wikipedia-style (open data, centralized database) wikical.com. You can host gencal as a webinterface with predefined filters. (e.g. all free software events in your country)
