Other combinations

Primary

Since you're already planning to use HumHub's Meetings module for scheduling, I can suggest some open-source options for the other components you need. Here's a suite of software that could work well together:

1. Videoconferencing: Jitsi Meet

  - Open-source, secure, and scalable
  - Supports video conferencing, screen sharing, and chat

2. Project Management: OpenProject

  - Comprehensive project management tool
  - Includes Gantt charts, agile boards, and time tracking

3. Recording: OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) Studio

  - Versatile software for video recording and live streaming
  - Can capture multiple sources (screen, camera, audio)

4. Scripting: Etherpad

  - Real-time collaborative text editor
  - Good for creating and sharing meeting agendas or notes

5. Live Streaming:

  - OBS Studio (mentioned above) can also handle live streaming
  - It integrates well with various streaming platforms

These tools are all open-source and can be self-hosted, giving you control over your data and infrastructure. They can work together to provide a comprehensive solution for your conference meetings.

Would you like more information on any of these tools or their integration? I can elaborate on specific aspects if needed.

Others

Certainly, I can suggest some alternative combinations of open-source software for your conference needs. Here are a few more options:

1. Videoconferencing:

  - BigBlueButton
  - Element (Matrix-based)

2. Project Management:

  - Redmine
  - Taiga

3. Recording and Live Streaming:

  - Owncast (focused on live streaming)
  - MediaMTX (for both recording and streaming)

4. Scripting/Collaborative Editing:

  - Cryptpad
  - Hedgedoc (formerly CodiMD)

Here are a couple of potential combinations:

Combination 1: - Videoconferencing: BigBlueButton - Project Management: Taiga - Recording/Streaming: Owncast - Scripting: Cryptpad

Combination 2: - Videoconferencing: Element - Project Management: Redmine - Recording/Streaming: MediaMTX - Scripting: Hedgedoc

Each of these tools has its own strengths and may integrate differently with your existing HumHub setup. Would you like more details on any of these alternatives or how they might work together?

Zulip/Taiga/Jitsi

The Zulip/Taiga/Jitsi combination is an excellent choice for a comprehensive open-source communication and project management suite. Let's break down each component:

1. Zulip:

  - Open-source team chat application
  - Offers threaded conversations, which can be very useful for organized discussions
  - Supports integrations with many other tools
  - Good for asynchronous communication and can replace email for internal team communication

2. Taiga:

  - Robust open-source project management platform
  - Supports both Agile and traditional project management methodologies
  - Offers features like Kanban boards, Scrum support, issue tracking, and wiki
  - Has a clean, user-friendly interface

3. Jitsi:

  - Open-source video conferencing solution
  - Offers high-quality, secure video calls
  - Supports screen sharing, chat, and recording
  - Can be self-hosted for better privacy and control

This combination offers several advantages:

1. Full coverage: It addresses team communication (Zulip), project management (Taiga), and video conferencing (Jitsi) needs.

2. Open-source: All three are open-source, allowing for customization and self-hosting.

3. Integration potential: These tools can potentially be integrated, though some custom work might be needed.

4. Scalability: All three solutions are known to scale well for growing teams.

One potential drawback is that you might need to set up recording and live streaming separately, as Jitsi's built-in recording features are somewhat limited. You could consider adding OBS Studio to this mix for more robust recording and streaming capabilities.

Would you like me to elaborate on how these tools might work together or discuss any specific aspects of this combination?
