1 Change of the tools used by the Ryzom teams
As said during last meeting, we are working on a redesign of the tools, in order to no longer depend on external tools and their limitations in free version: we are currently studying and testing their open source replacements, which will be hosted on a Ryzom server.

The tools that will be replaced are:
- The internal chat (currently Slack)
- The task management software (currently Asana)
- The file sharing tool (currently Dropbox)
- The Collaborative Publishing Tool (currently Paper)

It will lead to a greater visibility, since the members or Ryzom, Ryzom Forge and Ryzom Core will share these tools and will be able to follow the whole of the ongoing projects. There will only be a restriction regarding the access to some documents related to these projects.

I will tell you more soon, as soon as this project is more advanced.

Hi guys. Maybe you should have a look at:

- matrix.org - decentralized, distributed and federated chat protocol with many bridges (gitter, irc, slack etc)
- taiga.io - one of the best project management out there
- nextcloud - file sharing and more
- nextcloud - with collabora/only office/etherpad for collaborative doc editing.

You could have all of those self hosted with ldap support to have all those services accessible with just one set of credentials. I'm hosting thos services, and more with https://disroot.org project, so I could help you setup your instance of you want, or you could use our services.

- We just switched to Rocket.Chat for chatting, including integration to game, so i guess we won't change again that fast :D
- Also Kanboard has just been introduced for the project managment and i doubt that it is useful to relearn how everything works once again

Both of them are self-hosted too.

Ahh cool. Good to know things are in place and project is alive. I just wasn't sure since the links to kanboard werent working. I could setup bridge to rocketchat from matrix so ppl with preference to matrix could join too (just need to check whats needed for it).
