Help installing or if possible is there any automated script for installing like the one GasparI made for ubuntu 16?

@Rob Guthrie please keep in mind that people who come to the open source self-hosted are usually small communities or groups where the chances to have/hire an advance ruby/linux developer are low.

Look I admire you guys

you made an amazing software and you totally earn all my respect for that level of commitment I have no complaints but one

the easier it is to install the more people will use it,

the more kind and helpful you are to newbies the bigger and solid your community becomes and more members can help others without you having to be giving support to everything alone

(not saying you are not helpful or rude, just saying there’s room for improvement) I appreciate the time donated to maintain Loomio.

If we are here is because we are grateful, we believe in your project and are willing to contribute if we can. (and 50 euros as Gasparl suggested is absolutely worthed)

I agree you are short of time for keeping up with certain things.

But hey @GasparI is willing to start a highly needed feature and just asking for support, I think encouraging more initiatives like that one would help Loomio to improve and it would make the community more involved in development and it would be less load on you and the team.

I am currently involved in many open source communities,

I'm talking by what I have seen

Take a look at Blender 3D. It used to be the least practical 3D Design software ever

they followed the path of involving more the community in development

Now they are the industry standard and made Autodesk back off and lower their prices more than half

I beg you to google Ton Roosendaal.

Analyze his community (Blender 3D) and the "business model" to keep income for blender foundation.

(if you can call an Open Source Software "Business")

Again I love Loomio and would love to see it grow, nothing of what I said had the intention to hurt or give hate speech.

It's totally the opposite I really want you guys to succeed you deserve it.

Again Thank you so much for all your effort, patience with the community and your time to make Loomio a reality.

the world needs more people like you guys.

I love all the support in this thread. Thanks everyone ❤️. This is a much better approach than asking me to do it.

By the way, just released 2.4.0 which has a number of new features available under the "Beta features" section in the sidebar. Because you care about Loomio so much, you can be the first to know.

Key improvements

• live collaborative editing on discussion contexts and proposals (plus some new editor features like colours and text alignment)

• all comments etc are live saved as drafts and you cannot lose your work

• "work in progress" mode for proposals so you can get feedback and improve them before voting

• new thread renderer which shows you what is relevant to you, and is more stable (read: less jumpy) and faster than the last one

• still to come before loomio 2.5: private threads and see who is online in a thread

Now please don't ask me to do any more custom os install scripts 😜

@T thanks for the updated link, I'm pleased to say that your script worked flawlessly in my first attempt with minimal tweaking. Love it, thanks for your time and effort big thanks bro.

@Rob Guthrie thanks for the new features Can't wait to try them 😉

@GasparI we love your idea, please keep us updated if you start any crowdfund campaign.

Maybe start a poll or brainstorm from the community to see which features are needed

and could be developed by the community via crowdfunding/volunteering for development.

thanks for the support!🙂

Loved to read this thread. Thanks also from my site to @Rob Guthrie and all other loomio team guys. This work that you did is really great and thanks for your kind and constructive support. 🙏👍
