Hi. I'm looking for a tool to run a small community. I'm hoping this crowd has seen something similar and can make recommendations. Here is the use case.

I'm part of a group of less than 50 people that teach an activity. I need to coordinate instructors support staff and location availability. As well as communicate and store files for instruction

  • Id like a shared calendar that everyone can see and manage events. Each entry needs to have a spot to say where the event is taking place as well as time, date and a notes field to put student names.
  • Id like a chat feature where requests to the group can be seen and responded to. (Hey, can anyone teach a class on this day?)
  • id like a place to store documents and training materials. Ppts, maps and class standards

Thats kinda it. We are currently using an app called "Band" which is ok but I wanted to know if anyone else knew of something open source that doesn't rely on Google or fb.Thanks!

I like the Nextcloud suggestion.

Still if you're open to hosting or can find hosting service, then Odoo Community could work. It's a ERP/CRM suite with several useful modules, including:

  • Discuss (Slack-like messaging with file attachments)
  • Calendar, To-Do, and Project for task management
  • Website & eLearning modules for additional functionality

Its unfortunate that some modules & features are withheld for selling people on Enterprise. Could be soltuion to look into but is proably overkill. Similar to Odoo, ERPNext doesn't do feature lockout but I don't know if they have similar modules or not.
