There are thousands of events taking place around the world each year. Organising and promoting an event is incredibly challenging; it takes a lot of time and effort to make sure possible attendees are presented with correct and up-to-date information. With hundreds of websites and services promoting important events, updates must be communicated efficiently and effectively. LGBTQIA+ friendly and tailored events for the community are important. Many people, organisations and media outlets want to promote events like yours.

  What is an Opensource project?

An open-source project is a type of licence that gives everyone, those directly involved and those accessing the project, permission to use, review, modify and share the project’s related information (often code or data), which is also provided free of any charge. Opensource promotes collaborative working, where large groups work together to keep the information updated and expand the project’s data or code. The opensource licence will typically outline the project’s terms and conditions, from acceptable use and all available data and code types. There are many different types of open-source licenses; however, both individuals and companies will typically use the project’s data or code. Providing the data free of charge makes the information widely available. It also improves the accuracy and completeness of community-related data or code. Companies, blogs, news outlets and services are not only able to quickly and easily access the data; however, it also enhances and makes important information widely available to their customers and readers

Over the years, many countries, cultures, and attitudes have been changing positively towards the LGBTQIA+ community. Many individuals from the community no longer live in fear of persecution and can now form legally recognised relationships. Even though acceptance and equality have improved, many people are still living in hostile environments. Countries that were previously making positive changes are now shifting their attitudes and regressing, citing traditional values. It is now more important than ever to present the LGBTQIA+ community positively and help connect the community, wherever they might live. Whether from being made aware of upcoming events, the latest apps or services that might benefit them, Wecare.LGBT was designed to help the global community.
