Gancio
Gancio provides a shared agenda for local communities, with installation instructions and event usage documentation.
About Gancio
Gancio is a software project for running a shared event agenda for local communities. The homepage describes its use case as small nodes tied to a specific territory or a small thematic community, rather than large or national platforms. Every visitor sees the same events, and the site has no personal timelines.
Events are published without showing who published them, and anonymous event submission is enabled by default. The homepage says events can be exported through RSS feeds, global or individual iCal files, ActivityPub, microdata and microformats, and embedded on other websites. The homepage lists version 1.28.2 as the latest stable release and 2.0.0-beta.6 as a beta release of version 2, which it recommends only for new instances. Existing instances should not be upgraded yet.
