@saintsal said in Updates from Salim’s Kitchen:

the more serious event hosts using a separate event scheduler, which makes them more likely to want to choose their own registration/management tools.

I disagree with this. Convo already allows people to put whatever link they like into the Location field, so in a sense already supports this. What I take you to mean is that we don’t focus at all on showing attendees or anything - simply an open and decentralised stream of community events, a la RSS.

1. I think we should have the open community events stream,
2. I think we still allow people to RSVP through convo, and give organisers the option of seeing who is attending events directly through there.
3. I think we ensure this can be done in Google, or via .ics files
4. I think this is made even more powerful with web3 auth.

This is largely because of the activation energy required to get people just to use convo + organise an event, rather than requiring that they also go an learn another tool just to put a link into convo…

Incidentally, I think we should also speak to Stephen Reid about https://dandelion.earth/ even if only for ‘market research’ with a sympathetic Fellow who has been doing a lot of this already.

I am fully in agreement with the destructured guilds idea: I love that.
