Looking for Open Source/Group Calendar Alternative

Hey, all!

Back in 2021, I started a Google Calendar to help keep track of Sanders Sides events. To my knowledge, while there are now blogs (@tsseventhub and @sanders-sides-events) that keep lists of Fander events, reblog and help spread the word of all the amazing Sanders Sides creative weeks and months and Big Bangs and exchanges out there (gasping for breath), there isn't another calendar form of the information.

I'd like to get this calendar into another format that is more easily maintained by a team. It's currently attached to my own personal (fandom) Google account.

Does anyone know about any alternatives? Most especially alternatives that are easier to maintain by a group, rather than being tied to a single individual's account?

Loceit-Week 2025 Prompt Poll #1

It's a short poll, so please help spread the word!

[edupunkn00b]

The fastest gift exchange around. Objectively a bad idea. 48 hours of hyperfocus.

Schedule: (All times in EDT)

Tag Nominations Opens, Discord Opens: 0:01 August 14

Tag Nominations Closes: Midnight August 20

A03 Sign Up Opens 0:01 August 21

A03 Sign Up closes: Midnight August 27

Creation Phase: Noon EDT August 30 - Noon EDT September 1

Treating Week: September 1- September 8

Discord Closes: Noon September 8

Everybody admires everyone else's work: September 1 - Ongoing

Rules

The exchange is multifandom, and open to artists, writers, web weavers, and podficcers. Fandoms do not have to have a canonized Ao3 tag to participate.

You must be a member of the Discord, for communication purposes.

Once assigned, participants will have 48 hours to deliver their gift.

Artists are expected to deliver a decent sketch, Writers and Podficcers have a 300 word minimum, Web Weavers are expected to deliver a 5-element or 3-element weave, depending on their style of web weave.

No AI-Generated content.

This exchange will be operating on DL:DR when it comes to what the mods will police and what we ask you to respect in terms of other people’s requests. The single exception is RPF, which has additional rules. 

RPF is allowed. Persons nominated for RPF must be famous in their own right and over the age of 18. Persons famous chiefly for their participation in facist regimes or as serial killers will not be considered for nomination. Mods reserve the right to reject RPF nominations in poor taste.

Original Work is allowed. Use the "Original Work" fandom. If it is important to you that a person within a specific pairing is a specific gender, make that clear within the tag, for example "Middle-aged King (M)/His Loyal Bodyguard (NB) (Original Work)".

As this is a 13+ exchange, there is no NSFW allowed, even if you’re sure that both you and your recipient are adults. This applies both to sexual content and to extreme (e-rated) gore.

To increase matching options, tags must be seconded (nominated twice) to make it into the tag set. Because of this, tag nominations will be collected through a google form.

You can nominate tags for up to ten fandoms, with up to twenty tags nominated in each.

You will have one week to submit relationships and characters to a tag set, one week to write your prompts, and 48 hours to deliver your gift.

Participants are required to request at least three fandoms (with associated prompts), and offer to create around at least three fandoms.

To help your creator out, you must offer either a list of likes or prompts that contains at least one element that works for each art form that you have opted into. If you opt into art, you must give at least one art prompt or art like in your signup, and the same for fic, podfic, or web weaves.

Please include anything you absolutely don't want to receive (Do Not Wants) in the Optional Details field in your AO3 signup. Only DNWs in the Ao3 signup will be enforced, and mods will not enforce DNWs that are overly restrictive, unclear, or used to box a recipient into a specific gift (i.e. "nothing gross", or "I don't want anything that isn't a space au with the mc's other major love interest dead off screen".)

This exchange uses Ao3's matching algorithm, and as such, you need an Ao3 Account.

Make sure the email attached to your AO3 account is one that a) you check regularly, and b) are comfortable with exchange mods seeing. You can verify your email here: archiveofourown.org/users/[your ao3 name here]/change_email

As per Ao3 and Discord’s TOS, you must be at least 13.

say it with me now:

ao3 is an ARCHIVE.

no, you cannot post placeholders, RP requests, personal journals, or "chatrooms" on it.

yes, other people are allowed to post things you might find disturbing.

if this upsets you, go somewhere else.

Out of Context Spoiler for Always

Having a little too much fun with my upcoming Dukeceit Week story (hosted this year by @darksideweeks)

… while I’ve the most gorgeous man in London sleeping in my arms.” “Oooh,” I laugh, curling over to nibble at his ear. “In all of London now? Last month it was just East London.” “Ncuti Gatwa moved to Wales,” he deadpans.

Fucking hate watching children go “um Actually UwU” about AO3. saw someone say that fixing a bug with bookmarks isn’t a good reason to close a site down for a couple hours and they’re all lying about what they spend money on

meanwhile this very week my actual day job shut down the internal programmes for idk how many hours to fix a minor bug that popped up out of nowhere. I mean??? I don’t know shit about IT but “shut down all functions while we fix a problem” is so damn common. And “oh this took longer than we said” as well.
