Good initiative!

But can you elaborate a bit more on the (initial) choice for lanyrd.com?

In the PHP world, there are some others that are bit more widely used (joind.in for example)

Kind regards

Hi Paul, 

The overarching idea is to give the possibility to eZ Community members to mention events of interest, to which they are planning on participating. More occasions to meet, basically. 

http://lanyrd.com has the advantage of making it easy to any twitter-enabled eZ Community member to pop-in on an event : no local user management, only twitter. Lowering the entry-barrier, the share.ez.no team thinks. BUT, this event planning system will be conceived as open, from day 1 : adding connectors to other event management systems (like the great http://joind.in) will be made easy. Pragmatically, lanyrd.com is envisioned for the first round.

Cheers !

Hi Nico

Good to keep it open from day 1, I think I'll assign myself to a joind.in version then. Oauth is also in the stages for it and to read data (as needed for the event registration system described), its really easy, see joind.in/api

Cheers
