LAUTI
Open Source Community Calendar
Make noise and be LAUTI
LAUTI is your open source community calendar and offers you a non-commercial independent organizing platform. Invite friends, groups and places and let them fill the site with their events. Use it for independent calenders for cities or regions, for political and cultural events, demonstrations, activism, special interest communities and everything you can imagine.
Events for your community
As a community driven events calendar software LAUTI helps forming human connections. The events can last hours to days, repeat with different periods or have sub-events. They can be filtered by categories, topics, tags and geographical areas.
Groups & Places
All events have something in common: They are organized by a group of people and take place somewhere. LAUTI supports profiles for groups and places and connects them with their events.
Community Content
You are not alone! Assemble your community and let them contribute their events, groups and places. LAUTI supports user roles admin, moderator and contributor.
Custom Style with Themes
LAUTI is fully customizable in it’s look and feel: Create your own theme with Go HTML templates, CSS and Javascript, either by deploying it directly or editing the theme’s files in the admin area.
Multi-language support
LAUTI comes with multi-language support. Currently English, German, Ukrainian, Czech and Danish are available as options when deploying your instance. Language selection for users will follow with the next major release.
Lightweight and GDPR-compliant
LAUTI minimizes it’s footprint by relying on only few external components and aims to minimize traffic size for its users. No data from visitors is collected and only the necessary minimum from registered users, what makes it compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU.
Feeds
LAUTI provides all events as open standard feeds in ICAL and RSS format. Users can choose different scopes for their feeds for integration in their personal calendars and tools.
Open Interfaces
LAUTI comes with an open REST API for reading and writing all data like events, groups and places. Organizers can show their own LAUTI events on their website using our wordpress plugin.

How can I support LAUTI development?
Cool that you want to support us. Any kind of contribution is welcome, whether feedback, designs for themes, coding or translations for the UI. Have a look at the issues in our repository on Codeberg to see if there is something for you or contact us
I would like to use LAUTI in my community. Where do I start?
There are various options, either you run the software yourself, you seek support from a local IT collectiv or IT coop or we support you. If you want to run the software yourself, there is a tutorial on how to install and deploy LAUTI locally. If you would like us to support you in operating LAUTI, please contact us.
Is it possible to display LAUTI events on my website?
Yes, absolutely! All external website operators can integrate data on their website. The most flexible approach currently available is to use LAUTI’s Rest API. WordPress websites can use the WordPress plugin, which enables easy integration. For all other websites, there is a web component (note: beta) or the option to integrate various feeds as iFrames. The code for this is available on all group and places pages of your instance.
My preferred language is not supported, what can I do?
LAUTI is currently only available in English, German and Ukrainian. But do not worry! You can help yourself, us and others by translating LAUTI in your preferred language. The contents of your theme can be edited in LAUTIs theming module in the admin area. This has to be done anyways to adapt LAUTI to your community, even if you use an already supported language. More information regarding languages you can find at our contributing guide. The UI elements for visitors and for the admin area can be translated via Codeberg’s Weblate instance.
What does the word LAUTI mean?
The word Lauti is an cute abbreviation of the German word Lautsprecher, meaning loudspeaker. The term is used in activist circles in context of demonstrations where mobile or stationary loudspeakers are used for speeches.
Who owns LAUTI?
LAUTI is owned by everyone, as it is a Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only License. That said, LAUTI was first developed as eintopf.info and later transferred to LAUTI by Klasse & Methode - IT Kollektiv Stuttgart. We now act as maintainers of the open source project. Everyone is encouraged to contribute to the project.
