Hope for more information here. I would like to recall mapathon usecase: There is https://www.missingmaps.org/ webpage with the list of future events (but no events now, I think). The idea is to use https://osmcal.org/ to let mappers register to mapathon and show all the mapathons on the web page (but only mapathons).

I am not sure if communities would fit this usecase. The idea that pop-ups in my mind is tags. Create event and add as many tags as you want. Then, filter by tags.

Adding one or more tags to an event would be useful in addition to the kind of event as mentioned by @qeef . Maybe it would be helpful to predefine tags to not have chaos with to much different writings. It should be easy to add new tags by an issue or other administrative solution. So you can define categories, communities and events which have a specific topic. With tagging events you also can tag events online to find location independent online events. If I create these events I also add (online) to show it.

To show the kind of event, a symbol next to the text might be a good idea. I don't have any idea to visualize them, the small icons of wiki are not realy good. I also have a problem to delimit meeting and social. Maybe you can combine kind and tags into one field.

For filtering the events by kind or tags would it possible an useful to add new dropdown boxes beside the country filter?

If this is what I think it is :smile: then it would be really useful to me. I would like to have a link that would show all the events organized by my local OSM group.

Tags are generally an OK way to add lightweight categorization, so that'd be fine as well. I could for example link to https://osmcal.org/tag/osm-utah for my group.

I was also unsure of the scope of this issue, so I opened #60 about collecting and exposing a basic organizing community field.
