curating and creating shared calendar of Climate Justice events

Shared calendar of events

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 

- ripe.net/events (& https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/calendar) 
- nsrc.net/calendar (Education Outreach and Training (EOT) Calendar for Internet Development) 
- pch.net/calendar (Calendar of Internet Governance Meetings in 2023) 
- https://radar.squat.net 
- https://events.rebellion.global  
- https://foss.events/
- https://gettogether.community

Local:

Projected

Requirements

- funded by ethical sources (to be agreed later on what does that mean) 
- FLOSS Free/Libre Software, Open Source  (not proprietary)
 * that means other groups can also use this software!  
- Open Data  
 * there's no need to log in or have an account to read the calendar 
- global 
- federated! 
 * information is added once, then automatically shared with multiple other calendars
 * hosted on multiple "instances" (like Mastodon) 
- searchable 
- sortable 
- open for contributions AND moderated 
- easy to "parse" / export by API / RSS / (nnn?) 
- show past events 
- add review? 
- show all this on the (OpenStreet) map 
- find a way to ensure maintenance in the future 
- if possible: extend existing software, instead of "reinventing the wheel" 
- nice to have: export to ISC calendar entries 
- nice to have: subscribe to it by mailing list (for specific categories / tags) 
- --nice to have: hosted on a memorable (short) URL  =>  - isoc.org?   apc.net?--
