Hello all! Sharing a summary of what was discussed at today’s open-source apps meeting today:
Nextcloud
- @hpy and I were unsure whether you could have more than one user on the cheapest tier of this nextcloud instance
- @dusjagr uses this instance for Hackteria, said that he is able to have more than one user - can also create a public folder and invite others to add files to it. So we were able to confirm that even on the cheapest tier, we can add multiple users. Seems like the “1” user included on the cheapest tier just refers to one user with admin status.
Other apps we discussed
- GOSH Flickr - currently using the free tier which means that there are issues with making bulk changes to a group of photos. If we want a better option in the future, could look into the Internet Archive.
- Cal.com - I started using it to schedule meetings, but for some reason, I wasn’t receiving email notifications when someone schedules a time to meet with me.
- Eventgate is an open source alternative to Eventbrite if we want to use it in the future
- Could look into adding GOSH documents like the events framework to Wikimedia commons, Zenodo and Internet Archive
- OSF allows for collaborative editing of documents if that is ever needed as an alternative to Nextcloud
- Zotero is often used for academic papers but could be a space for other things that aren’t papers, although @hpy and I haven’t thought that far ahead yet! You can sync Zotero with Nextcloud but then you lose a lot of the collaborative features that come with a group library.
@hpy and @dusjagr stayed on the call a bit longer because I had to go, so feel free to add anything else that you discussed afterwards!
These meetings are held on the first Thursday (at 21:00 UTC) of each month, so the next one is March 3rd at 21:00 UTC. This meeting is also on the GOSH community calendar.
