@ted The Place and Event parts of ActivityPub would work, but I'm not aware of any other implementation using them for anything, are you?
federated event plattform
@mhall119 @ted
great!
you might be also intrested then to check out hubzilla.
It's a federated social network that has events and CalDav implemented.
hubzilla also federates with ActivityPub, Ostatus, diaspora, friendica.
I've made here a test event, incl a short screen record how event creation looks like:
https://hub.libranet.de/channel/paulfree14/?f=&mid=d8f8a8c384b0e75c9fd51ea054bee30be73b6e6a82cb7283b9def328eebc36ec%40hub.libranet.de&zid=paulfree14%40hub.libranet.de
also indyweb has a federated event function.
@mhall119 @ted just noticed this and it looks interesting...
Not aware of any widely used AP implementations that use locations, events, etc. but I think Nextcloud@mastodon.xyz is heading in that direction.
Also I think objects can be (or contain) multiple types so an event could also be a note which Mastodon could munch on making for interesting ideas to spread announcements? My AP knowledge is limited though.
@cwebber is a busy person but a good person to bounce ideas off...
@cwebber @msh @ted We have a Telegram group you can join for that: https://t.me/joinchat/AlruIk5yiQizaJ0YtYehzA
@craigmaloney @cwebber @msh @ted You can use the Telegram web app to join in. I haven't added any bots or anything to it yet, and don't have an IRC channel
@craigmaloney @msh @cwebber @ted Can you not create a new account here? https://web.telegram.org/#/login
@craigmaloney @msh @cwebber @ted I assume that's just for your profile picture, why not use the same one you have on here?
@craigmaloney @msh @cwebber @ted I've been considering Gitter as an alternative to Telegram, but you'd still have to log in to something for that
@craigmaloney @msh @cwebber @ted I've setup a room for evaluating Gitter: https://gitter.im/GetTogetherComm/Lobby
@ted I could also use help from somebody who is familiar with the ActivityPub/ActivityStream protocols already, rather than trying to learn them while I'm implementing them. For now I have a simple JSON feed and a script to pull from it.
