I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, and if its not please delete/move as needed.
What I'm looking for is someone to help me develop a backdrop package that would have all the functionality of a facebook group.
The minimum requirements would be:
- Static Pages
- Blog, written by a Writer->Admin usergroup
- User Generated Events, with ICS download links
- Calendar views on user profiles where a user can see the events that profile created.
- moderated discussion on events, and blog
- Small moderated forum for group discussion
- Invite links for registration
The events, forum, etc should be configurable so that only registered members can see them.
A nice-to-have would be:
- Personalized .ical subscribe links that can include events of specific tags, users, etc. These links could be revoked by the administrator if their is any funny business
- Automatic syndication of posts, events, etc to corporate and federated social media platforms (Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Linkedin, etc)
I have tried to put something like this together myself, but have had zero success.
I would like to be able to offer this as a self-hostable solution to groups and companies that are interested in getting off Facebook and other corporate social media
I have no budget in mind, and at this stage curious about the "order-of-magnitude" cost/effort that putting something like this together.
If you have any feature questions, comments, or if this is something that already exists, let me know.
Cheers.

Hi @arando
I think most of this functionality is possible in Backdrop out of the box and with contributed modules and configuration. Syndication might depend on platform.
There are probably a few options for how to make this available depending on how you want to work. I would be happy to discuss. You can contact me via my website if you like:

I sent you a note on your website
Thanks
