Events and Camheroes

Today we are announcing our new event feature on the openDesktop.org websites.

Every user is free to register new events e.g. a Linux conference in London, a developer meeting in Berlin or just a little barbecue in a backyard. Your event will be listed in the events database and other users can "join" the event.
New participants can be invited to take part in events, friends get automatically informed via the friend newsfeed that some of their friends go to an event. The date, a short description and a location is enough to start a new event. Locations get directly displayed via an OpenStreetMap applet provided by the free wiki world map on each event page.
The event database is going to be part of the Social Desktop therefore events nearby a user can also be displayed via the Social Desktop Plasmoid for the KDE desktop in the future.
Data can be fetched using the Open Collaboration Services API. Furthermore an integration in Kontact/Kalendar and Evolution is being evaluated at the moment.

One more thing. We are doing a side project together with our friends of http://www.Soft-Science.de
This project is called http://www.Camheroes.com. It is a online photo diary. Everybody can register for free and upload photos to document your day. Your friends get notifications via email and can comment on the photos. Your photos can be private of course.
If you have an iPhone you can use our free iPhone App to upload your photos from everywhere. Search for "Camheroes" in the Apple App Store.

Today we are opening up the API so everybody can write Addons for Camheroes. So if you want to write a Desktop Widget a Mobile App or something else check out http://www.camheroes.com/api
