The French city of #Lyon will also be replacing Microsoft for #opensource solutions. Really curious what #Linux distro they will choose 👀

Also featured; #Jitsi for video conferencing, #Nextcloud paired with #OnlyOffice for document sharing and co-editing, #Zimbra for email, #Chamilo for online training, and #Matrix for instant messaging. 🔥

@Gina Matrix for IM. OMG, good luck with that.
Been using it for some chatrooms and the whole encryption thing is such a pain in the ass, and I'm a techy.

@n3wjack yeah that's my issue with Matrix too. Plus it's not super admin friendly, from my brief experience.

I've implemented Rocketchat in the past, but would prob recommend Mattermost now.

@Gina @n3wjack What puts Mattermost above Rocketchat for ya? (I've only really run or use Matrix myself, other than very briefly using Rocketchat and reckoning it looked slick enough at a first glance that it wouldn't scare most folks away.)

@keithzg @n3wjack No particular reason. It's been about 6 years since I used Rocketchat, and most of the communities I'm in now use Mattermost. They're prob very comparable.

@Gina @keithzg @n3wjack I'm a big fan of Zulip. It's like an IM and forum mixed. Very admin friendly.

But also, I host a mattermost for my scout group and have had no problems. It's pretty user friendly.
