According to HostingTribunalWordPress powers 34% of Internet websites (), which often has a calendar using some plug-in like Events Manager. What about allowing all these events to get federated?
We already have two plugins to federate WordPress articles, maybe they can be a starting point to federate also events?
This is great, I was looking into this very idea last year. Basically, I had settled on using Jeremy’s ActivityPub PHP library, but development of the lib seems to have stopped at the beginning of the year, and I started working on something else before trying to implement this.
Again and again I hear from people that Events are one of the main reasons they are on fb.

I would like to point to @andre who with help of NLnet are working on:

WordPress Plugin: ActivityPub Event Bridge
We are developing a WordPress plugin that is integrating popular event plugins with the ActivityPub plugin. For more information visit the plugins git repository or the WordPress.org plugins site.
IIRR both Indymedia and the Pirate Party called them “working groups”, although in this context that might be too easily confused with W3C Working Groups, which are a totally different and much more formal structure. How about “interest groups” or “feature groups”?
