[patriciabt]

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

"Event Federation Plugin for WordPress
Add ActivityPub to events created with most common WordPress event plugins"

Information here on event-federation page, see also more information

Let's make sure GatherPress is considered as one of the "most common WordPress event plugins" :)
Assign that ticket to myself to get in touch with them and see if there is anything to do on our side.

@carstingaxion
In the conversation on Mastodon, you wrote "And maybe to create the missing transformer for the #ActivityPub #event-federation is new on my list."
Can you elaborate here please!
Thanks a lot

Conversation on Mastodon with André Menrath, @Menrath here on GitHub , it might be done in the next weeks

As GatherPress seems to be a community first project, I would also be interested in discussing federated event attendance (for example joining the event via an Mobilizon account) and notifications to attendies also via the fediverse. I already made some drafts but other major event plugins lack a clear API (missing or complex and not-documented).

@patriciabt I asked some questions in the Pull Request #615 (comment). Could you maybe provide some guidance?

Another question is: Is the GatherPress Team interested in exploring more than just federating the event itself, e.g. making it possible for others to also make Join requests with their accounts/identities from other servers?

Currently GatherPress seems to heavily focus on the "allow user registration on your WordPress site" to have the full features. As I understand this is mostly used for handling attandees and sending messages to attendees. This could also be covered by ActivityPub. People could currently attend via Mobilizon or soon with Plemora profiles (there is a pending PR) and others. And messages could not only be send via mail, but also via ActivityPub to participants.

@mauteri could you please provide some guidance and see the above questions (and in #615), thanks a lot
