Quick: You’re a small #nonprofit #volunteer-run organization. What #tool(s) do you use for project management (planning and execution) to make sure all those volunteers are keeping things moving forward?

(Basically I am looking for HerdingCats.app that ideally is low-cost or free and with a smooth UI accessible to very non-tech audience!)

Petition in Germany to recognize unpaid contribution to free and open source software projects as 'society-beneficial volunteering' (ehrenamt)!

This will give volunteering for e.g. @postmarketOS , @freifunk , @kde , @nextcloud , @Mastodon and other libre projects the same legal status as taking care of an elderly family member or volunteering for a youth association, which provides tax benefits and relaxes requirements for receiving unemployment benefits.

Interested people may sign it using one of the two following links.
