The Work Continues: What’s Next

Details will follow soon — but the work on events in the #Fediverse is far from complete. Key upcoming milestones include:

• Improvements and new features for the Event Bridge for ActivityPub plugin for WordPress
  Continued development to maintain, fix issues, enhance, and expand functionality.
• Work on Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEPs)
  Ensuring a robust final status of FEP-8a8e and focus on recurring and irregularly scheduled events.
• Support for event interoperability in other Fediverse applications
  Contribute to other Fediverse applications and help them to explore and improve support for Event objects. For example, @linos@graz.social has outlined a potential roadmap for Mastodon.
• Contribution to GatherPress
  Active involvement in the GatherPress project — a modern and truly FLOSS community oriented WordPress event plugin — to ensure full ActivityPub compatibility, including RSVP support and advanced federation features.
• Community engagement and outreach
  Participation in conferences, public talks, and direct conversations to foster knowledge exchange, gather feedback, and grow the ecosystem around federated events.

Additional updates and technical details will be shared soon. Input, testing, and collaboration from interested parties are always welcome. Or if you know any conferences we should attend, let us know.
