Background story: at the DRxCJ workshop in Berlin in November 2022, "we" realised that a shared calendar of events would help us to facilitate cooperation between movements & organisations -- we could learn from each other, exchange experiences, and meet more often.
Challenges
This is not an easy problem to solve, because...
- coordinating humans is a hard job
- "search" technology is a multibillion $ business...
- multiplication of standards -> https://xkcd.com/927/
- Not-invented-here factor
Example Calendars
Existing calendars : global
