App contributions hall of fame

[jdaviescoates]

@girish and @nebulon, obviously. Who else?

EDIT: I just realised I could do an Advanced search for "most of the packaging work" in Announcements to find lots of them (although not all, as e.g. that didn't find Moodle).

In no particular order:

• @atridad did much of the work for Moodle, n8n, Owncast, and Uptime Kuma
• @doodlemania2 did most of the packaging work for Pixelfed, Apache Guacamole, Owncast and Paperless.
• @jimcavoli did most of the packaging work for Metabase, Grafana, Snipe-IT and Grav CMS
• @thetomester13 did most of the packaging work for Firefly III, PrivateBin, Astral and RSS Bridge
• @fbartels did most of the packagingwork for Statping
• @ultraviolet did most of the packaging work for Vault, Trilium Notes and Apache Guacamole and bootstrapped Calibre Web
• @msbt did most of the packaging work for TeamSpeak, YOURLS, Alltube Download, Bookstack, WBO Collaborative Whiteboard, helped with Matrix/Riot, and got Ampache started.
• @syn did most of the packaging work for Mastodon
• @Felix and @iamthefij did much of the heavy lifting for Bitwarden
• @murgero did the initial ground work for Directus
• @cve-random did the majority of the work for Jellyfin with the help of @mehdi
• @mehdi also implemented OpenVPN, Transmission, SickChill and CouchPotato
• @sumacinitiative helped out with LimeSurvey and SearX
• @BrutalBirdie did most of the work for Greenlight and also packaged SFTPGo
• @erics packaged dolibarr
• @eriktad packaged prometheus
• @mario helped package docker-registry
• @dswd packaged freshrss, gitea, syncthing
• @jeau packaged OmekaS
• @v_shnu packaged Chatwoot
• @timconsidine packaged changedetection, ntfy
• @klawitterb packaged documize
• @random_eric packaged ntfy
• @Kubernetes packaged Stirling-PDF, audiobookshelf, teddit
• @jypelle packaged ctfreak
• @walski packaged outline
• @Sydney packaged Actual
• @Lanhild packaged OpenWebUI
• @eyecreate packaged Kavita
• @TheNils packaged PocketBase
• @nj packaged KeyCloak

I did a few other searches too and think I've likely got most of them now, but who is still missing?

Anyone?

Moodle over here. Hoping to learn and do more.

[girish]

This is a great thread Thanks @jdaviescoates. Off my head, you can also add the @cve-random who did jellyfin. Some apps like freshrss, gitea, syncthing were done by Dennis. He was dswd on the chat (probably one of our earliest ever users). Dennis, are lurking here by any chance? Then, @erics is doing dolibarr. Joey and @msbt helped with matrix/riot. I have to go through our app list to dig up the other names, I am surely forgetting few more.

Good stuff - add your Paypal/Bitcoin/Gumroad links to your profiles people

[girish]

Ha, @mehdi, of course He helped with Jellyfin. And implemented our OpenVPN.

[thetomester13]

@jdaviescoates thanks for the shout out

[girish]

And @sumacinitiative did searx and limesurvey.

[jdaviescoates]

@girish @nebulon I wonder if we should add all of these existing app packagers to a new "packagers" or "published app" group or something so that when they post in the new help wanted/ offered category people will be able to see that they've already packaged an app?

[malvim]

This is a great thread, thank you @jdaviescoates for this. Also, I think your idea of tagging actual packagers is a neat one!

I've packaged a few things that are not public (just playing with stuff I've written myself), and got to "production-ready-enough-for-me" stage in a few other softwares heheh. Not sure if I'm the kind of person you're looking to hear from, but I'm here if needed heheh.

@jdaviescoates hahah “most” of the packaging work on Moodle might be a bit generous. Girish was the real hero.

@atrilahiji said in Who here has actually already packaged an app that is already in the Cloudron App store?:

I've edited to "much of the work"

That's not specifically what I started this thread for, but still good for people to know, thanks!

[rmdes]

Isn't there a way to add "app contributor" to one's profile ?
or maybe even roles in the Discourse forum features ? that or some kind of badges, anything that give contributors a distinction mark, I'm not sure Cloudron wants to go in that direction But I think it's good when the community can identify better who provides value to it ?

[jdaviescoates]

@rmdes yes, adding them to a group as I proposed above would do that. Nebulon and Girish have a 'Staff' badge because they are in the 'Staff' group.

[girish]

I could put them in a group but what is the expectation? To show case that they have packaged an app before? I have to look into NodeBB groups more closely but I don't want people tagging them as a group in posts saying "hey, @app-packagers can one of you step up" etc :-).

[girish]

I found https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15015/trying-to-understand-the-fundamental-purpose-of-groups/ . Maybe https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4397/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards-ns-awards-give-medals suits us better.

[marcusquinn]

@girish Groups are good for the tag next to your name on every comment or post. for Groups. Medals/Badges are also nice.

"hey, @app-packagers can one of you step up"

Yeah, I guess we might now want that. This is the only NodeBB forum I frequent. Is that actually a thing? Hey @staff does this tag you?!?

@marcusquinn said in Who here has actually already packaged an app that is already in the Cloudron App store?:

Yeah, my idea was simple so that "app packager" or similar would be displayed as a badge next to their name like staff is for you and Nebulon.

[rmdes]

tagging a group send a notifications to members of said group, my expectation of this badge/tag isn't to be used this way, more a recognition of their contribution, so perhaps the medal/badge is better approach

[girish]

Well, that award plugin does not work and has not been updated in 7-8 months as well. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4397/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards-ns-awards-give-medals/142 reported similar back trace.

I guess we can just use groups for now.
