I'm a regular at a local BG hub and until now people keep planning sessions via a whatsapp group. This creates a few problems, such as people asking for players for a game, and then random messages pushing their message out of screen, so people don't notice. Basically there's a lot of people who have games who want to play specific games and people who want to play those games, and I want to find a more efficient way to organize this.

Is there any software that does this? Preferrably open source and self-hostable. I thought I'd try asking first before I bite the bullet and write it myself.

What about some spreadsheet where everyone can add time/date and game that he wants to play.

Than everyone can see the options and vote/add themselves to the event he wants to go. Than you can send group emails with information and calendar event file.

I think that something like this can be put together with nextcloud and email bot.
