There’s a GNOME hacker currently in an unsafe living situation. Unfortunately I can’t commit to hosting someone at my place, but can any of my friends out there provide a safe temporary living situation within the continental US? Please contact @npub1y6ds...m6cl (or reply privately here and I can connect you).

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
