How gathering messages work

A gathering message is extremely simple. It is little more than intent to have a gathering. Location, time, description etc are all about messages that link to the gathering message. Hopefully we can reuse these about messages to add metadata on completely different things. Examples could be publishing a location message about a pub or a photo.
