What Free Software project/tool have you started using to help with the COVID-19 shut in?

For me, it's been #BigBlueButton with #Greenlight and #NextCloud , the former for video calls, the latter to increase access for some personal and volunteer projects

Both are hosted instances, so thanks to Big Blue Meeting and Your Own Net for offering affordable services

Even more thanks to the people behind the projects for making useful software!

What are you doing during the great #CovidShutIn ? Working on any cool projects?

I'm volunteering to help FLOSS conferences make #CovidChanges and get the word out

I'm also doing dayjob, family tech support and apparently homeschooling as of next week

#FLOX is also about health :)

@PLUG if you want takeout, please #ShopLocal

Both Boulders locations are remaining open, I presume Spokes is as well.

Locally owned shops keep more of your money in the local economy. They also don't have deep pockets to ride this out.

Penguincon is obligated to continue at this point

"As discussed, we are currently bound by our hotel contract to hold Penguicon unless required by law to cease. Canceling the event now will mean almost certain dissolution, and end Penguicon in its current form."

"We will be posting updates to the community every Sunday as to where we are in terms of a decision on Penguicon in 2020."
