Some days I have a hard time focusing on doing anything productive because I'm overwhelmed by how all the visible evidence points to almost all world's policy and decision makers being totally inept and/or corrupt.

I am thinking on implementing ticketing system for my office works.

Currently my team gets tasks from slack chat, email, phone from other teams.

Mine is a 2 member team now, doing all the #devops works. Will expand in some 6 months.

Which #opensource #ticketing system is good for a small team?

Great time to remember that your new #IRC network of choice doesn't have to fall between the #Libera vs #Freenode debate.

Can you suggest some good free and open source language learning software? I’m feeling like I need to dust off my Portuguese.

Instead of using Calendly to schedule your events and meetings you can switch to the #opensource alternative called #Calendso. It requires #nodejs and #PostgreSQL to get started. Another #selfhost app to try!
