Hi there, main dev here.

Mobilizon is a project meant as a federated alternative to Meetup and Facebook events. It’s run by french not-for-profit organization Framasoft. There’s also the main presentation website if you want to have a look, and we work on our own Gitlab instance instead of Github.

Feel free to ask any kind of questions!

Wow, that’s really neat! Wish I had known about their crowdfunding. I would’ve liked to participate. Looks like a great example of an in-depth Elixir project to point people to.

Right now it’s not possible, but obviously the goal of the project is to break free from closed platforms like Meetup so at some point it will definitely be possible. Since it’s federated, we can also imagine migration between instances, even though it’s rather tricky with ActivityPub right now.

In English, it should be pronounced like “Mobilize On”. Most French speakers pronounce it with an ending in zɔ̃ though, and it litterally translates to “Let’s mobilize”, which is also fine.
