Our Motivation

Freedom of speach is achived through decentralized and free platforms. Federated events is a missing cornerstone of the Fediverse and I want to help with that.

Laura Herzog

Federated events empower communities and organizations by enabling decentralized, open, and interoperable event management.
Unlike siloed platforms that lock data and users into their ecosystems, federated events embrace open standards, allowing seamless interaction across networks.

Matthias Pfefferle

I joined this project because federated, structured, linked open data is the future!
