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.

Hi, Just to add my vote of thanks to Joe et al. for starting work on this.
This a feature that there have been a number of discussions about already and is widely agreed that it's wanted so it's a shame that the response here seems a bit lukewarm.
@joeschraube - worth having a look through loomio at some of the previous discussions about an events feature and what community members would want it to look like! Good luck with it, I'll be looking forward to it!

hi Nick yes I will move forward :). Just I have interviews with some developer and check what is posible - the echo here was ok for now. I have not found no older discussions about the topic event feature here. The page https://www.loomio.org/g/EseV9p4X/diaspora-community has no search function. Can you put here some links to the main topics ?

The page https://www.loomio.org/g/EseV9p4X/diaspora-community has no search function.
There's a search field in the header bar if you're logged in. It only, however, returns results from groups (and subgroups) which you have joined.

What is the present status of this undertaking? I am not a developer (sysadmin here), but I would love to contribute in any way that I can (testing comes to mind, when it becomes needed).
Happy New Year!

He is also a professional software developer and knows large features for any software require more than just pushing out code :)
