LAUTI

📢 A lot has happened in the past months for #LAUTI and @klasse_methode@chaos.social. Here is a short rundown:

🏁 We released LAUTI v1.2.0 yesterday along with a brand new blog and LAUTI documentation page on lauti.org. Some weeks ago we started working on Fediverse integration with the support of @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl @NGIZero@mastodon.xyz thanks to @linos@graz.social. Furthermore we collaborate with @Bonfire for a tight integration of events and got a couple of new contributors and public instances!

☀️ The future looks bright! Read all about it in first blog post: lauti.org/blog/lauti-updates...

Finally, LAUTI has it's own fediverse account! 👋 Up until now, we used @klasse_methode@chaos.social to post about LAUTI, but we think it deserves it's own account. And we hope you think so too. 😀

We're glad that our friends from @Bonfire provided us with an account on their server. And it makes total sense, as we work closely with them on different projects, one of them being the tight integration of LAUTI events into Bonfire.

For all who don't know LAUTI yet: LAUTI - Open Source Community Calendar provides communities with a sovereign platform to share their events. Fediverse integration is in the making. For more check lauti.org

Help spread the word if you like. 🤝

We are a little bit late to the party, but on the 1. May we celebrated #lauti's first anniversary 🥳.
This year was crazy, we got in touch with so many amazing people a long the way. We did our first talk at the #39c3 self organized session of @techfrombelow@chaos.social
We visited #fosdem with our friends from @Bonfire where they announced our collaboration working on #events in the #fediverse.
We are just getting started, SSO is around the corner and we are working on #activitypub at the moment.
For more updates take a look at our last blog post

LAUTI instances are shown with a black/white pin.

Our next two #activitypub pull requests are ready for review:

• adding a public key to our instance actor codeberg.org/Klasse-Methode/... (note we use rsa for now as recomended in swicg.github.io/activitypub-..., but we will propably support more keys in the future)
• adding an empty inbox with #httpsig verification codeberg.org/Klasse-Methode/... #fedidev

With the exodus from big tech social media, people often wonder where they find events for their city or community. The need for community driven/owned event calendars rises and with it people starting one themselves. Nowadays there are a couple of viable technical solutions, but the real question is: How do you get people to use them. In this blog post we reflect on nearly 5 years of building and operating @eintopf@sueden.social We hope this will help others to make their calendar a success. Comments and additions highly welcome.
