Gancio

Shared agenda for local communities to publish events

About Gancio

Gancio is a lightweight, self-hosted platform for sharing events and agendas within a local community. Collectives, venues and associations can publish gatherings, concerts and meetings on a shared calendar that visitors can browse without accounts or tracking, and events can be federated and embedded elsewhere. It is designed for community spaces and grassroots organisations that want an independent alternative to commercial event platforms and social networks for announcing what is happening locally.
