Apevents

Abstract

1. Introduction

For updates and discussions, check out https://thegem.city/tags/apevents.

(ActivityPub) Events is an event management system that allows event creation and coordination across the fediverse.

Events are considered public and there is no current or planned implementation of "private" events. The server will support domain allow and deny lists, for both fediverse moderation as well as network controls, but if the site is public then events can be seen by practically anyone.

2. Objective

A federated event management system

This project demonstrates how Rust can be applied to a real-world Full Stack Web Development problem.
