Usage: EVENTS [LIST]
       EVENTS SCHEDULE #<room> <when> <minutes> [MODERATED] <title>
       EVENTS CANCEL <id>

Shows the live events that are coming up (everybody), and lets a room's founder or SOP, or an IRC operator, schedule one. <when> is a number of minutes from now, a time of day like 19:30 (the next one, in UTC) or a date and time like 2026-10-20 19:30 (UTC). Everybody online is told when an event is scheduled, 60 and 10 minutes before the start and when it starts; the room is also reminded one minute before the start and five minutes before the end. While the event is live the room topic says LIVE NOW, and with MODERATED the room is moderated (+m) until the end. These are ordinary notices, so every IRC program and the web chat show them.

Examples:

/events
/events schedule #town-hall 19:30 90 MODERATED Quarterly town hall
/events schedule #music 30 60 Open mic
/events cancel 3

Say hi in #CR.
