Any open source projects out there using Nextcloud Talk for real-time chat? I’ve been researching and testing a whole bunch of solutions for open source projects while explicitly evaluating them on their fit for something pretty cool I’m working on. The gist is supporting an inviting, easy-to-join open source community of mixed-age members (including teens and adults). Due to this, safety tooling and moderation is extremely important. #Nextcloud #OpenSource

I find myself once again looking for a good solution to a common problem: as an open source project, hosting documentation/text-based resources as Markdown files in a git repository makes a lot of sense. Buuuut as a collaborative project that wants to invite explicitly less-technical people into the fold, using git and Markdown has a fairly high gatekeeping factor. How is this not a solved problem? :( #OpenSource #documentation

Those self-hosting Mattermost for open source community: how is that working out—especially cost-wise? Paying Mattermost directly seems to be cost-prohibitive for a large open source community ($10/user/seat??), but it’s not clear to me what the actual infra costs of self-hosting could be. But free solutions like Slack and Discord are no-goes due to certain policies and a lack of safety protections we need. Boosts welcome for exposure! 🙏 #SelfHosting #mattermost #OpenSource #community

I recently saw someone use #LoFi to refer to local first software, and I *love* that appropriation of the term. LoFi is chill. LoFi is about being left alone whether to focus and get things done or just vibe. Let's make more #LoFiSoftware

On Elephants

This post is a response to what Tobias posted yesterday on his blog. I would really prefer not be writing it. There are many other things that I wo...

As noted by Allan, the post is his personal view and not an official position of the GNOME Foundation board. That said, I personally feel like it includes important context and is well worth a read. #GNOME

Fellow #3Dprinting peeps: does anyone know of a good quality “blurple” colored¹ PLA filament? I’ve mostly just stuck to Inland and Anycubic PLA+/PLA Pro filaments for my Ender 3v2, so something similar would be great. ¹Blueish-purple, like this:
