For ride sharing, somebody around the faircoop movement hacked around this one. Its noted that its “pre-alpha” though I am not sure that further development will be done.
Otherwise I always find it desirable from an ecological standpoint to hook into existing ride-sharing services, although its somewhat understandable if somebody does not want to share a ride with everybody. It is difficult to find some that are open about their ethics (like https://bessermitfahren.de), and the standard format excludes more “advanced” scenarios (like I come over, surf your couch and we leave the next day, private messages, non-car-ride-sharing etc.).
Haha great ideas, haven’t seen it anywhere either Also:
shared roadtrip in a campervan
ride sharing plus towing somebody’s camper trailer
sending a trailer with cargo hop-by-hop through ride-sharing (with drivers just leaving the trailer at highway parking spaces with a combination lock around the towing hitch, for the next driver to pick it up)
Huh, these are great finds. I added them to the list above. And I thought I have already seen everything relevant on GitHub Since they allow multi-day bookings, a commune could manage spare room bookings with these tools as well, not needing separate tools for room and inventory.
(@hugi might be interested in these two tools for The Hub, they could be more suitable than the lab management software.)
Aw, I think with FabManager you found my favourite commune management software so far! Added to the list above.
In addition, I also included Modernomad in the list. It’s for managing community-run guesthouses in multiple locations, so might be interesting for your use cases. It was pointed out to me by @jonathan_sundqvist – you guys might want to connect, as you seem to be aligned in your software requirements
As of 1 nov 2020, the open source project has been discontinued, as you can read from their website:
“Booked Scheduler has become a full SaaS offering on November 1, 2020 and the open source project will be discontinued.”
Thank you for alerting us to this. I have added that announcement to the wiki above now, and also changed the links to the effgarces/BookedScheduler fork, which intends to provide bugfixes and maintenance in a limited way.
Since I am affiliated with them I would also like to add the Wordpress Plugin CommonsBooking (commonsbooking.org). It has been created for the free cargo bike movement and is a bit of a different booking system because it integrates into Wordpress as a popular CMS to allow initiatives to customize their websites to the fullest degree and supports having multiple locations including maps of items at locations. It has been developed for and by the community but can also be used to power a small lending library or even a tool sharing among a small local community. We have tried to make adoption as easy as possible through an extensive documentation, I would love for you to check it out.
I’ve just found and already tried out this fantastic piece: https://github.com/sebo-b/warp - it is for workspace booking, and the interface design is excellent.
Btw, it’s incredible how difficult it is to search for this kind of software. And the number one reason is the dishonest, manipulative communication of all the “freemium” open source companies, and also the list makers (except this one!). With the real free software projects the main issue is maintenance, I think more than half of the original list hasn’t seen new commits in the last 2-7 years, and that’s prohibitive unless you are willing to take over the development.
