In their own words
classroombookings
Classroombookings is an online room and resource booking system for schools, colleges, charities, and other organisations. It can run as a hosted web service or be self-hosted. Its timetable settings support one-week, two-week, or longer cycles mapped to calendar weeks, and recurring bookings can repeat at the same time, in the same room, and on the same timetable week. Different room groups can follow different schedules, with periods restricted to selected weekdays. Viewing and booking permissions can be assigned by department, role, or individual user. Rooms can be grouped and described with custom fields, locations, owners, and images. The system can also manage resources such as equipment, labs, meeting rooms, community spaces, sports fields, event spaces, minibuses, and coaches. Self-hosting requires a PHP-capable web server and MySQL database; that edition is offered under AGPLv3, with a source-sharing condition for modified software used over a network. Cloud organisations have isolated databases, and the hosted service includes maintenance, updates, and email support.
