We agreed on a tag "phpdotnet" which we can encourage our users to use and you can get the data here http://api.joind.in/v2.1/events?tags=phpdotnet (it is json if you're not a web browser). Events won't be totally spam as they're human-approved, but we don't specifically check tags as they're usually added after event creation. We'll try hard to educate our users when they should use this tag (and I can obviously edit as needed!) once you're actually using it. I hope this this will reduce your workload while allowing the community to still get the word out about their events. Does that help? Lorna -- Lorna Mitchell http://lornajane.net
