Gluebox designs, builds, and operates calendar, reservation, and event platforms on open source — with AI woven in where it earns its place.
Built for municipal governments, university housing offices, and community organizations.
Three things we do well, built to be inspected, handed off, and kept.
Calendar, booking, and coordination systems that hold up under real-world use — recurring events, capacity, approvals, and the edge cases that break everything else.
Composable, open-source builds on Drupal 11. Shipped as recipes so the work is portable, inspectable, and yours to keep — not locked inside a vendor.
Claude API, MCP servers, and agents wired into real workflows — designed, built, and operated in production, not bolted on as a demo.
RSVP System is the open-source platform Gluebox designs, builds, and maintains.
A composable calendar and reservation platform built on Drupal 11. Open source, recipe-driven, and running in production — from community calendars to municipal coordination.

Read noteI'm in a security class this week, and I keep noticing a distinction that seems obvious once you see it and causes a surprising amount of confusion before you do. There are two separate labeling systems in security, and people mix them up constantly because both use colors.
Read noteBuilding a Shared Security Node on a Nano Linode (Without a Static IP) I recently spun up a nano Linode to act as a single, shared security and compliance utility node for all my other infrastructure — a central CrowdSec engine protecting multiple sites, plus a lightweight consent-logging endpoint for GDPR/state privacy compliance.
Read noteA mission for RSVP-System I started when you laid out pages with tables and prayed they'd render the same in Netscape as they did in IE. Since then I've watched the web reinvent itself more times than I can count — portals, blogs, social, mobile, the app store, the cloud, and now machines that answer your question before you finish typing it.
