Last week, we launched our Digital Sovereignty Index. Yeah, marketingy name, but I think it's cool. We tracked the use of self-hosted digital workplace tools (from #Jitsi to #openproject ) and compared it between countries.
Now granted - lots of things you can't track that way, most of all the use of big tech solutions. Caveats mentioned on the site! But I still think the data is interesting and it has sparked quite some conversations, which is great!
At OpenProject, we believe in flexible work — but it has its challenges. Like when your colleague sits on your keyboard and refuses to move.
Yes, we work remotely. Yes, many of us have cats. No, we don’t always get the last word in meetings.
Happy #InternationalCatDay from the #OpenProject team!

Vorweg: Den #eMail Ordner Posteinang konnte ich noch nie leiden. Endloser Strom Nachrichten, die voneinander getrennt, chaotisch sind, obwohl sie eigentlich in Zusammenhang stehen. In #Outlook ist es (hier am Arbeitsplatz) noch viel schlimmer - die Suchfunktion liefert miserable Ergebnisse. Quält mich seit 5 Jahren. Vorher gab es 15 Jahre Groupwise - die Suchfunktion war top. Leider hat zudem #openproject nur auf Accountinhaber eingeschränkte Mailfunktion, macht das Chaos komplett. Lösung: 1/2

Good news from the open-source world!
XWiki is teaming up with OpenProject to offer a complete, modular alternative to Confluence and Jira — no vendor lock-in, no trade-offs.
We believe in tools that respect users, protect data, and work well together.
That’s why we’re building an integrated experience across documentation and project management — and doing it openly.
