        @marcuswquinn yeah, usually we don't usually take up packaging work even though we have done this for a couple of specific before (like jupyter hub).

            @girish i think he meant quote as in price quote, talking money in public or via pm 😉

              @msbt Yup, new here and money is always a funny subject, so just didn't want to steam in to someone else's forum without some etiquette on seeing what's cool or not. PMs prob most appropriate but just thought better to be transparent about it than appear to be hijacking for recruitment or have others soliciting work without checking it's acceptable forum use. Certainly a fan of open-source, so it's just sponsoring to help the app suite grow, not owning. Hope it's making sense.

              Will email @girish and PM @murgero to see how we can help.

                  Just spotted this: https://cla-assistant.io

                  as a merge prerequisite on: https://github.com/outline/outline/pull/939

                  Just pinging I here for reference in case Cloudron wanted to incorporate a CLA for code contributions.

                    Lol, 🤦 . Sorry, I totally misunderstood. It's fine to discuss things here as long as it's not too off-topic and still Cloudron related.

                      This is a very interesting and applicable concept, +1! We have the platform and the support on the Cloudron side, the gap is being able to tap additional talent in a uniform manner coupled with focusing the users/paying customers resources on said talent.
                      The same reasons companies/people flock to Salesforce.com for its "ecosystem" from the customer to the developer... The current feature set obviously but also because each time a customer pays for BASICALLY anything "custom" SFDC gets to re-purpose the efforts and make a "new product"..We can achieve the same or better =p especially since the upstream projects are already OS 🖤 I have some additional ideas on this & would love to be involved N make this come to fruition =]

                          Looking at the current rate of App packaging and launch on Cloudron, I can only guess all this might take 5 years unless there's something I'm missing.

                          So many great Apps but I'm not getting any closer to app system consolidation without having a bunch of these. How can we speed this packaging process up?

                          Sorry, I'd love to learn and do but just can't neglect current duties right now. What I can do is divert a bit of budget if that helps.

                          If the community here is in a similar position, perhaps we can have a whip-round and contribute to recruiting for this?

                          I also have some seriously decent privacy-conscious client potential for all of this - but we have to dog-food anything before we can promote it.

                          Very happy with Cloudron - all features definitely going in a great direction - but how do we get more Apps into the Store faster? That App Request list is going up faster than down.

                            The way I see this is that every App is free marketing for Cloudron. I can't be the only person that's got to many VMs and App requests from a team that just wants the Apps so they can focus on setups, development and usage.

                            Every App that gets added to the App Store, ask the forum community here to then go and post on those App communities to point their users at Cloudron to give it a try.

                            I can't think of a better organic marketing strategy beyond this forum TBH.

                            I'll happily post links all over the internet to Cloudron to help you grow - but I'm kinda stuck a bit while our infrastructure consolidation needs are in-limbo.

                              @girish @nebulon I wonder if would help to have a Group for those that are willing and able to offer App packaging services?

                              https://forum.cloudron.io/groups

                              I'm a fan of role-based systems, and maybe the forum Groups can help make the community a profitable way to share business too?

                                @marcusquinn Sure, can create one. What would be best way for a person in this forum to get into this group though ? I am happy to make you a mod of that group as well (if such a role exists in nodebb)

                                  @girish I guess just have a thread for it and let people request that role if they are into packaging.

                                  Could be easier to @mention a group if there's Qs specifically for those with that experience.

                                  Just thinking to work with what we have so your focus is preserved for your roadmap.

                                    Ive got a good conceptual grasp on cloudron but am not able to yet package. I AM able to sell and support and would love for this community to have the ability to pay for & reliably find engineers to package apps that clients want =]

                                      Noting none of the apps I've listed above are listed here: https://forum.cloudron.io/tags/wip

                                      May I ask for some business consideration in the App wishlist priorities? There are some significantly valuable apps in my list but I'm currently without the spare capacity to assist directly.

                                      Anyone else here interested in these apps? Particularly Odoo, Directus, NodeRed. All apps I think the community would find very valuable too.

                                            @plusone-nick Odoo has the best accounting module of any FOSS app I've ever tested.

                                            It's a solid alternative to Xero / Quickbooks / Salesforce / Magento / Wordpress etc. I have a feeling it will be as popular here as Nextcloud seems to be, and it has Nextcloud integrations.

                                            Pivot tables on everything is a killer feature — a surprisingly rare feature in other apps.
