* Reep.io *
Send out large as well as small files straight-forward, fast and more secure to a friend using P2P (peer-to-peer) technology.
Transfer files directly to another browser indeed without uploading the file to a server first. Only a "handshake" is performed.
The file will no longer be available after closing the browser window.
Reep.io is naturally open source, also.

Hey all, I need some help rethinking community calls for #opensource projects.
At Moodle, as we did at Mozilla, I've been using a public Etherpad for people to:
- Sign in
- Introduce themselves
- Contribute ideas to the project
We're also using Zoom to:
- Discuss things via video and audio
- Record the call for later viewing
After a conversation with our data privacy lead today, I've got to delete the existing data we've captured in this way, and come up with a new approach.
Any ideas? 🙃

Do you use #GoogleForms, #SurveyMonkey or similar services?
Are you happy with your data, and your users' data, being exploited by third parties for commercial purposes such as shadow profiling?
There are #Free #OpenSource alternatives which let you control your data and offer your users privacy, which you can self-host or use online as a service:

I know it's a dangerous nit-picky audit trail to start down, but I hate it when I find out that a #charity I donate to spends money on #proprietary software. It makes me want to stop donating, because I know there's a huge amount of money being wasted on something that can and should be $0. Like, without question, $0, if not supportive of #opensource.
(And yes, I know sometimes charitable orgs get $0 proprietary software, but rarely is it $0 across the board.)

GitLab "Ultimate" and "Gold" for self hosting now free for education and open source.
This is GitLab taking this massive opportunity after Microshaft swallowed GitHub and making the best of it.
The more people are moving over now, the better their own future will be in the long run.
GitLab also make migration easier, starting the #movingtogitlab campaign with a straight-forward video etc.
GitLab is open source itself, too.

@Framasoft is crowdfunding further development of #PeerTube, the ethical alternative to #YouTube:
https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform
#PeerTube is #federated through #ActivityPub, #OpenSource and uses #PeerToPeer to spread the load if videos go viral. More details at the link.

Micro$oft is buying GitHub?
A home for countless open source projects and their source code, GitHub, has been shown interest from M$.
Thanks to GNOME Project and Debian Linux guidance has been shed on how to prepare for the mass FOSS migration. CLA (Contributor License Agreement) has been removed, features has been added.
GitLab can optionally be self hosted, too.
GitLab help with the possible mass migration! ---> https://youtu.be/VYOXuOg9tQI

The impending sale of GitHub to Microsoft is another example of what happens when we fixate on #opensource IP but not equitable corporate ownership models. How *should* the repository of most free, open software projects be owned?

The Survey already have all the basis we need covered, btw.
You can still ask friends to elope together, I mean #ForkOff together with you, by asking them to fill out the survey.

Is anyone doing a #federated #OpenSource alternative to Meetup.com?
It's useful for local events, but very expensive for organisers ($15 a month for a basic events page). People pay purely because others use it, an open alternative would be 👍
Meetup's "network effect" might be overcome because it isn't a global network (e.g. someone in London is only going to care about meetups in London).
Also, an open alternative would be perfect fit for #federation, each community having its own instance.
