Hello all, I just want to add another open source meeting/collaboration tool for consideration: Mattermost: https://mattermost.com/ It looks like this would be a direct open source alternative to Slack. We could look at self-hosted and secure cloud deployment options. This could be a good way to go if we decide to tinker with Big Blue Button for video meetings (for example). Thank you to the friendly helper who prefers to remain anonymous. Sincerely, Katie ________________________________ From: Katherine Mcmillan <kmcmi046 [ at ] uottawa [ dot ] ca> Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2022 8:53:17 PM To: John Brooks <john [ at ] fastquake [ dot ] com>; Richard Guy Briggs <rgb [ at ] tricolour [ dot ] ca> Cc: Rick Leir <rleir [ at ] leirtech [ dot ] com>; linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org <linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org> Subject: Re: [linux] open source chat Hi there, I love the enthusiasm on this list :) To Rob: For speech-to-text I would highly recommend perusing: https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/ASR I think we could leverage BigBlueButton for this too! -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xiW32NMctA&ab_channel=3ESoftwareSolutions -https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/4e59f1e881e610b4c627a84ffd154fda974553b3/bigbluebutton-html5/imports/ui/components/captions/service.js#L78 -https://github.com/bigbluebutton/speech_to_text I think we would have to try it out to see how it works with French - I agree that this would be amazing!

That drama has migrated to Libera. That's 20 years ago. I've been active on freenode (now Libera) since 2012 and I don't know what "drama" you're referring to.
