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 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. Twenty-five years of churn.
Read noteOne of the most common patterns on a community platform home page is the "three pillars" row — a set of short, punchy columns that each highlight a key feature and invite visitors to take action. Events. Resources. Announcements. Browse. Reserve. Learn more.
Read noteWhen you manage a platform used by a town government, a university housing office, and a neighborhood association — sometimes all at once — access control becomes a surprisingly hard problem. Who can post an announcement? Who can approve a room reservation? Who can manage the Library's calendar but not the Town Clerk's?
Read noteHow we're building a resource reservation system that actually understands how communities work — on Drupal, with open source, for the long haul. Every community organization has the same problem.

Read noteIf you host Drupal on Pantheon and develop locally with DDEV, you can run a perfectly solid workflow without ever touching Multidev: Branch in GitHub Test locally in DDEV Open a pull request Deploy to Pantheon Dev Promote Dev → Test → Live That’s already a big improvement over “push straight to Pantheon and hope.”
Read noteI help manage production Drupal sites. Real users depend on it, and for a long time my development workflow was embarrassingly simple: pull it down to DDEV, fix the thing, push directly to Pantheon Dev, and hope for the best.
