What’s up with the OFFDEM community?

## Upcoming Events

Topics in this category SHOULD announce upcoming events related to OFFDEM: the OFFDEM _mainline_ annual event in Brussels, OFFDEM _branches_ around the world, workshops and gatherings related to #Care topics (work groups activity), and sister events and gatherings ([[tbd]](https://next.tbd.camp), as well as [hackmeetings](https://hackmeeting.org/), etc.).

## Category restrictions

Because new topics created in the #Upcoming > Announcements category end up published on the Fediverse, new topic creation is restricted to the [@infodesk](https://oxygen.offdem.net/groups/infodesk), [@staff](https://oxygen.offdem.net/groups/staff) and [@trust\_level\_3](https://oxygen.offdem.net/groups/trust_level_3) (regulars).  
[@trust\_level\_2](https://oxygen.offdem.net/groups/trust_level_2) (members) can reply here and create an event to announce an upcoming event.  
If your trust level is not there yet, you’re welcome to propose events in #share: if there is support from the community, it will be announced here.

## Calendar Subscription

You may download an `.ics` file for importation with your existing calendar software, from the … icon and _Add to calendar_ in the event itself:

If you want your event to appear on the calendar, create an event in the first post of a new topic.
