You are aware of Matrix of course, but that may be too much for only video calls. I’ve seen mentions of Bigbluebutton, but never used it. Searching the catalog suggested Galene, Mirotalk and peer-calls. So far nothing you already thought of, I think.
What are you looking for in capabilities? Professionally, almost everything got shifted to kanban boards in various guises; at home we use the Deck-app which may not as feature rich as a specific app, but integrates into Nextcloud and has its own companion app on Android.
I have no clear picture of the activities of a medical scientific society. I’m sure rooms have to be reserved for meetings whenever they are not virtual, perhaps OpenSondage can be shoehorned into providing support for that. Otherwise I found Mobilizon in the apps, but I have not used it.
Sorry to be not of any concrete help. I’ll be following this thread with interest!
The meetings will have between 10 and 500 or more participants.
I have installed jitsi meet on a test machine to try it.
I’ve heard about it.
My next tests
I have it on my personal server but didn’t use it a lot to have a good idea about it.
Research, scientific publications, meetings, congress, education, social activities…
Not sure we will need an appointment scheduling solution but will keep it in mind in case. Generally, meetings, congress and lectures are recurring activities and dates are known months before.
Looks good. I will think about the way to integrate it with the rest.
Don’t be sorry, your contributions are always helpful. You really should be the yunohost blogger.
Openproject : seems overkill for our needs. Will stick with nextcloud deck.
Jitsi meet : the yunohost package doesn’t seem to have jibri integrated, so there is no conference recording. I will see if it is possible to add it to the package or may be a standalone app (though it is only usable by jitsi meet, so it won’t be interesting as a standalone app).
And I am still not able to figure out how to schedule meetings and how to sync them on a calendar on the website. Our congress is scheduled for the second week of April, so I will focus on nextcloud deck because we will be using it these days and indico to manage subscriptions, abstracts, publications, accommodations, etc…
Having days of 24 hours is not enough
Unrelated to that, another perhaps useful piece of software in a formal setting was mentioned in a recent thread, Signaturepdf.
A previous employer switched to a commercial service called docusign, which was even more hell to use than the previous procedure of attaching contract to mail, recipient printing it, scanning the result with signature, company receiving a picture-only contract back in the mail, which was then saved on a fileshare, but even so: it’s nice to see a Free Software alternative.
It seems to be abandoned, latest update 2 years ago. There is indico, we already planned our conference on it, set up the scientific program and scheduled the call of abstracts to open during this week, with paper reviewing.
I don’t see the point of signing pdf with image. I prefer libresign of nextcloud that has digital signing, though I didn’t make enough tests with it and I can’t figure out how to backup the digital signature so I can import it to another instance of nextcloud.
