A free, open-source event platform for community organizers, built on the AT Protocol. Think Meetup, but free for communities and open source.
Live now: platform.openmeet.net
OpenMeet is moving onto atmo, the open-source AT Protocol events app behind atmo.rsvp.
In atmo, your events and RSVPs are records in your own AT Protocol account, on your PDS (personal data server). They are not locked in our database. Any AT Protocol app can read them, and you can take them with you. That is where we want OpenMeet to be.
So we add what community organizers need to atmo itself, as pull requests to the upstream project. Each feature is then there for everyone who uses atmo, not only OpenMeet. Over time, atmo becomes the base that OpenMeet runs on.
Added to atmo so far:
- Event search, and events near you
- Events happening right now show up in what's on
- Load more stays consistent with the first page
- The event index and search stay up to date
Working on now: groups. A group is its own AT Protocol account, with members, roles and members-only events. It follows the draft opensocial.group standard and the atproto permissioned data proposal (atproto spaces). Both are still changing, so groups are not on atmo.rsvp yet. You can try them today on our demo network: atmo.lighthouse.snowglobe.at.
If your group is on platform.openmeet.net, nothing changes yet. The platform keeps running until groups work on atmo. We will post on Discord and Bluesky before anything moves.
Snowglobe is your own isolated AT Protocol network, for testing and demos. Nothing in it reaches Bluesky's network. We use it to build atmo's groups, and snowglobe.at has the details.
| Repository | What it is | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| snowglobe | Your own isolated AT Protocol network, for testing and demos | Node, Docker Compose |
| openmeet-platform | Web app for platform.openmeet.net | Vue 3, Quasar, TypeScript |

openmeet-platform and openmeet-api keep running for existing groups and still get fixes. New features go into atmo.
