Hi. I’m looking for a tool to run a small community. I’m hoping this crowd has seen something similar and can make recommendations. Here is the use case.
I’m part of a group of less than 50 people that teach an activity. I need to coordinate instructors support staff and location availability. As well as communicate and store files for instruction
- Id like a shared calendar that everyone can see and manage events. Each entry needs to have a spot to say where the event is taking place as well as time, date and a notes field to put student names.
- Id like a chat feature where requests to the group can be seen and responded to. (Hey, can anyone teach a class on this day?)
- id like a place to store documents and training materials. Ppts, maps and class standards
Thats kinda it. We are currently using an app called “Band” which is ok but I wanted to know if anyone else knew of something open source that doesn’t rely on Google or fb.Thanks!
Well, I guess Nextcloud has all of these. Not sure if there is something more specifically made for your usecase, where it’s still one single application and not three.
Nextcloud was my thought as well.
Calendar, file storage, and social features. All fairly integrated once you get it set up.
The hurdle would be that setup, getting the right apps installed to get the calendar and social features you want enabled.
And I’ve not really seen anything that can do calendars better than Nextcloud.
I’d be happy to advise on that, OP.
