Hey other #hackspace board members here on mastodon.

What software do you use to manage your hackspace?
Like administrate members, administrate payments and all the stuff you have to deal with in your space?

retoot for more reach welcome! #hackspace #hackerspace

- data management and calendars (separated board members specific stuff and a possibly public calendar): #nextcloud
Used mainly by the board members but set up using group folders to have a area for all members to check out photos, protocols and so on + work together. Is not in use by every member yet. Thinking about integrating the calendar into our website (which we should rebuild to make use of an #CMS like #joomla or #WordPress I guess).

Experimenting with #collectives to document stuff. Our #nextcloud instance is beeing managaged by @M4x.

- user management: #jverein

- financial stuff: #jverein (we're encouraging our members to use direct debit if possible to minimize the effort on our side)

- Finding dates / organizing the participation in events (shifts): #doodle (hosted at a university) or #nuudel (https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/). The first one is more popular but I don't know why.

Make your polls - nuudel

Framadate is an online service for planning an appointment or make a decision quickly and easily.

@mcfly 3/5
- protocols: #libreoffice and #msword + #nextcloud (haven't upgraded to be able to use the office suite together with #nextcloud yet - discussion on how to proceed are ongoing)

- managing registrations for workshops: e-mails (registration) + #libreoffice (management). This should be handeled by a proper plugin by our future #CMS I guess.

@mcfly 4/5
- website: Static and in a "one page" design. But we aren't happy with it. Unfortunately we're lacking of members which are able to change that and can devote the time needed to tackle it. Thinking about a #CMS (as stated above).

- inventory management: Haven't started with it yet. We're thinking about getting some stickers + creating a spreadsheet using #libreoffice

- tracking introduction in tools: Mostly on paper

@mcfly 5/5
- internal communication (digital): Simple mailinglist provided by our webhoster https://www.manitu.de/ (should be improved. The mailinglist solution, not the webhoster)

- external communication (digital): This account on mastodon, website, manually managed "mailinglist" (we'd like to improve it. Recommandations are appreciated.)

- access control: We have keys. The hard stuff, made out of metal.
