DESCRIPTION:Many event organizers run their own websites\, even many small 
 ones do. But publishing their events solely there is not enough. They have
  to post their events on multiple websites or channels\, such as Facebook\
 , local community or individual-managed sites to reach people. The posting
  has to be done manually\, one by one for each channel. This is causing a 
 huge amount over additional work\, especially crucial for low-budget commu
 nity events.\n\nCentralized platforms have the greatest reach\, not only b
 ecause so many people are already using them\, but also because searching 
 for events can be done in one place. Centralized calendars lead to a monop
 oly\, a silo which makes it hard to migrate from.\n\nThe Fediverse\, decen
 tralized social-media like publishing\, provides a solution to this proble
 m. While short notes\, images and videos are already popular through platf
 orms like Mastodon and PeerTube\, events still are about getting started. 
 \n\nThis talk might give answers to why Events are not that popular yet in
  the Fediverse\, but more importantly it will show you what decentralized 
 event publishing is already capable of\, and what to expect in the feature
 .

DESCRIPTION:The Fediverse (**Fed**erated un**iverse**) has been around for 
 several years and is constantly improving. However\, it has not yet become
  mainstream. \n\nThis workshop invites\n\n* artists\n* musicians\n* associ
 ations\n* activists\n* event organizers\n* political actors\n* ... and all
  others interested.\n\nWe will create or use existing Fediverse identities
 \, like Mastodon\, PeerTube accounts\, or your own WordPress website and g
 et the adventure started. Let's experience what digital automony through d
 ecentralization in a digital world actually means – by using it. Let's d
 iscover what is possible\, what the current limitations are and what the f
 uture might bring.\n\nParticipants are required to bring their notebook. A
 ccess to Mastodon\, PeerTube\, Gancio or WordPress demo sites is provided\
 , if needed.
