I have a customer from Berlin is looking for a solution a bit like meetup.com. If the budget is enough for add to Diaspora a event feature and we can use Diaspora code as base for our project - maybe that's a win-win situation.
Users of diaspora as a political project should desire for a event function - right ? I guess I am not the first how is thinking about it. Some functions can be can be taken as useful from facebook. more close to the Diaspora styl is meetup.com.
I would like to get in contact to discuss the issue with people. I am from Germany we have developers in Kathmandu Nepal and Kolkata India.

As diaspora* is open-source, you just need to find a good developer.
(from the original proposal):
I am from Germany we have developers in Kathmandu Nepal and Kolkata India.
Sounds as though he already has developers, so just needs to go ahead, fork the project and create the feature for his client. Whether he then wants to offer it back upstream to the main code-base is of course up to him. If he chooses to do that, it would of course be great to have discussion prior to its creation about what would be best for D*'s network and its users.

@goob : Ah, ok. I thought he just wanted the foundation to develop the feature in exchange of money, with contract.
In any way, I'd really like to see this feature come ! :D

I'm all for having an Events feature for Diaspora; it would be really nice if it were made to be compatible with RedMatrix's Events feature. That way, people on both platforms could make use of it.

If algorithm is created, would it be difficult or long to implement it ?

@praveenarimbrathod since this is a big feature guys please make sure to discuss the implementation before working too much code out - it would be a shame if something was done under a huge effort and then for some reason the code cannot be landed in the core.
A good initial design and then you can be sure the code will be accepted! :)

@jasonrobinson Pirate Praveen is an old Diaspora* member, he knows what he does...so we have to trust him and his dev team.

diaspora* is entierly developped by benevolent on free time and without any contract. Decision are made just right here by vote from those who signed up. So, if you want to find someone to develop this feature, you cannot just sign a contract with the foundation to develop it.
As diaspora* is open-source, you just need to find a good developer. If this work benefits to the network itself and respects the license, I think core-devs will be happy to help him.
