The community wiki now can handle diagrams

[LayLow]

Hi,

The community wiki now has diagram possibilities based on Draw.io.

So if you need to show a diagram for your topic of interest on the forums, you can simply create one (via media manager) on the wiki and share it. Others can then edit the diagram too if they have a wiki account.

Here is a very simplistic example

Wonderful! Draw.io is a really powerful tool for diagrams.

Where will be stored the user-created diagrams from the community?
Which license will be applied on all the user-created content?

@pike

Where will be stored the user-created diagrams from the community?

All wiki contents and uploads to the wiki are stored on the wiki server hosted by Nethsesis.

@pike

Which license will be applied on all the user-created content?

All wiki content, current and new, have the GNU Free Documentation License version 1.3

This is also stated on the footer of the wiki:

And licenses and ownership can not change overnight.

However, your questions touch another point where it comes to ownership, hosting, steering and descision processes of the wiki, for there is not an legal entity attached to nethserver.org other the ownership of the domain name and the cookie policy. The .org part implies that it is community driven, but it is not, and also being commercially used for e.g. pricing of NethServer and NethSecurity wich are products of Nethsesis.

Also the nethsever.org and “The project” (not clearly defined) have other licenses:

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/

and

GPLv3

Thanks very much for taking your time to answer to my question

[Andy_Wismer (André Wismer)]

The .org ending does NOT imply a community.
It is simply short for Organization. It IS often used for Open Source Stuff, but not necessarily as a community.

.org

My 2 cents

Thanks very much for taking your time

Likewise for your constructive input!

@Andy_Wismer

The .org ending does NOT imply a community.

You are barking up the wrong tree. Please study all possible meanings of the word and usage of ‘imply’ very carefully, and maybe you learn something.

But thanks for your never ending attention to very essential details and hijacking posts just to make it to the top 3 leaderboard! You made it again, congrats and have a great weekend!

I am just refering to your not quite correct statement you pasted…

Yep, the project is community-driven but Nethesis owns the project, site, ecc… More info here

What is the NethServer Business Model?

NethServer is a community effort, sponsored by a company (Nethesis). Its business model is to sell software, support, and services to other companies, customers, and resellers. Part of the revenue is used to fund development of NethServer, official site hosting, community initiatives, sponsoring, and so on. Community and company have the same target: making NethServer better and more successful, and NethServer benefits enormously from the resources that the company invests into it. The company …

@alefattorini

Nethesis owns the project, site, ecc

Obviously in compliance with the GPLv3 and Creative Commons licenses that are in effect for all forum and wiki content, so that content can not be ‘owned’, neither copyrighted.

@What is the NethServer Business Model?

Its business model is to sell software, support, and services

That also is the objective for some of us based off of NethServer hence the recognition for e.g. community devs and links to their respective sponsor pages.

But most importantly Thank you! Nethesis for fostering SME offspring and nursing it to become NS8 today!

I have already tried and I’m open to suggestions

How to help our NethServer Community Devs

I want to highlight the work of some app developers in the community. It is possible to sponsor their work to continue developing new apps and maintaining the current ones. Thank you, @kemboielvis22 and @oneitonitram https://github.com/sponsors/kemboi22 https://github.com/sponsors/compgeniuses

@alefattorini

Let’s think about this, how we can gain more devs and retain the current ones with an attractive (marketing) plan that generates (financial) sponorship. You must have some idea’s from your partnership programms.

@LayLow

IMVHO community should not be involved into sales/marketing/communications.
Community cannot take decisions, currently.

@pike

sales/marketing/communications

Agree, I am referring to their own marketing as a dev that is looking for sponsors. Not the sales and marketing of Nethesis. They have their own team.

Crappy sentence. How do we support current and future devs!
