Say it's #FOSSfriday today, what's a #FOSS project that you're currently excited about?

@Gina Ansible (@ansible)

Asking because I have a new found fascination for @libreoffice, and might look into how to contribute to the project some day.

I've also been diving into @openproject for work and it's really nice.

@Gina KDE. I love to use plasma and other KDE stuff like KDE connect daily. Oh and thunderbird too :-)

@Gina @libreoffice @openproject Libreoffice is great. Once already running, I find it super fast opening huge oft files and generating pdfs. So fast!

@Gina #Lomiri #Debian #DebianEduRouter #OpenQA (probably more...)

@Gina @openwebui is an interesting project. Not enough for commercial use I think but good enough for personal use.

@Gina, the @ethersync project is very exciting because it provides a new Google docs like pair programming experience while every participant can work with their favorite editor/IDE.

@Gina I am a huge #runtipi.io fan

@Gina Okular. Simply best PDF Viewer. 🙌

@Gina Permission to "shill" my own?

@farbenstau absolutely, go ahead!

@Gina Well, then: #X2Go https://wiki.x2go.org - an entire ecosystem around a remote desktop and remote application solution for Linux. Clients available for Windows and macOS as well. HTML5 client in beta. In addition to that, we offer our own, Debian-Live-based ThinClient image, which you can boot over the network or from USB. Our Linux client can also act as a nice, user-friendly GUI for rdesktop and xfreerdp.

@farbenstau No way! I remember using X2Go for our servers while I worked at a fully FOSS non-profit, it was nice.

@Gina (By the way, we could use some funding, especially in the events and infrastructure sections. Donation links are on our wiki start page and donations are even tax-deductible for German tax subjects.)

@Gina

This week, I needed to compare quite a lot of PDFs with a single source PDF.

It may not be modern, or pretty, but I was very grateful for diffpdf:

#FOSSFriday

@Gina
My TKCompanionApp (https://codeberg.org/marcoXbresciani/TKCompanionApp), an app to help apply the concepts of Toyota Kata to continuously improve through scientific thinking.
I have to restart it a bit and work on more features, but I really think it could help people to focus and improve in every area.

@Gina I'm very excited about https://github.com/defnull/fediwall

With this software it is so easy to set up a fediwall which makes excellent screens about meetings

Or just an cool way to follow a hashtag and you do not even need a Mastodon account for it

e.g. #fosstodon with https://egonw.github.io/INOSC/?tags=fosstodon&accounts=fosstodon@fosstodon.org

(that version by default shows posts about the International Network of Open Science Communities)

@egonw TIL, that looks cool!

@Gina Great! Check out https://whatcanidoforlibreoffice.org for some ways to get started – or drop us a line 😊

@Gina

Hyprland - https://hypr.land

It looks to be a really awesome choice for great UX/DX on laptops. So quite excitet, even though it will be really challenging due to all the configuration in files needed to do.

#FOSSfriday 🤓

@Gina

Let's make #FOSSfriday a weekly thing!

I'm currently excited about #OSMAnd which is an #OpenStreetMap Android app that is great for #bicycling navigation - way better than let's say Google Maps!

@Gina @zephyr, as always.

@Gina Servo, because we need more web browser options. The BSDs for regular computing, and Graphene OS for mobile. I want to dig into mobile Linux again as well, it has been a few years, and I bet that they have made some progress!

#servo #RunBSD #mobilelinux #GrapheneOS

@Gina

https://writefreely.org/ is the #FOSS project I use as my primary blog engine.

#FOSSfriday #WriteFreely

@serj What's that?

@Gina
#KDE for sure 😎

@Gina Luv that thread, people are so enthusiastic. Still limited to the nerd bubble, tho ... wondering why the mainstream seems to love being held in walled gardens and costly proprietary cages.
"But we lose followers when we move from Insta to Masto!" 🙄

@azett right? I got this notification on IG today, wth. Can't wait for Mastodon and Pixelfed to become mainstream.
