We've just set up an instance of #mobilizon for #glasgow - it's intended as a replacement for meetup.com after being discouraged by some of their recent pricing/policy changes.

It's open source, federated and has #rss feeds etc.

Looking promising so far, we'll put it through its paces over the next month or two.

Feel free to sign up and add any local groups/events (or join some of the events we've moved there from meetup).

Now that meetup.com have doubled their prices for organisers and are starting to introduce (frankly bad) ideas like "pay to skip waitlists" etc - is there a decent open source (of course) federated events management platform out there?

We tried #mobilizon a few years ago but we had some issues with it. I think it's time to give it another try.

I love to hear about any alternatives too though!
