cleardental VS Mumble

And here is a shameless plug for my own project: A dental EHR that uses mostly QML for the frontend.

And I'm also a software engineer ;-)

Sure, its called Clear.Dental. Source code is here. The videos are outdated, but you can still check them out here.

Topic 1: My Dental EHR Project. I am right now developing and actively using my EHR software in my dental practice. The presentation would go over the design decisions, pitfalls, and other interesting things I learned about Qt and QML.

First, a little background about myself. I was a software engineer for 5 years where I got most of my experience in using Linux. I then went to dental school and have been a practicing dentist ever since. This “report” will be more focusing on my dental practice and how I started it up. Yes, there is the EHR software that I am working on but that is a whole other long story and maybe I’ll make a dedicated post about that later.

Oddly enough, if there was too much exposure or too little exposure, the driver I wrote actually stretches the contrast accordingly. If I spent more time, I can probably find a lower kVp and exposure time and get similar results but I have a bunch of other things on my plate.

You will be adding features for Clear.Dental; which is an open source project for making an open source dental software stack ( https://gitlab.com/cleardental/cleardental )

I actually wrote my own. Clear.Dental

I think Sonobus is overkill. I suggest you look at a couple of relatively old-school gamer voice chat tools - Mumble or Teamspeak. Mumble is open-source and the connection is always encrypted, Teamspeak is commercial but the free tier should be fine for you - but you have to make sure to manually turn encryption on yourself. It has been a long time since I used either, so I don't know which is easier. Both of them require you to run their matching server software.

Mumble's latency is unbeatable imo, it's basically their main focus and shows.

The sticking point for me is the lack of persistent messages, something the devs strangely think is a privacy plus. Issue open since 2016: https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/2560

If you drop out for a minute you won't have access to anything that was posted in chat, which makes it useless for anything other than voice only comms, that might suit some business purposes but I've always needed to post links or screenshots in chat during meetings.

There's any number of alternative chat applications available, like Element, Mumble, Teamspeak etc.

Mumble?

I think Mumble might fit what you're looking for. It's been a very long time since I've used it, but it seems to still exist: https://www.mumble.info/ - I've used previously for exactly what you're describing, events with lots of crew dispersed around and no budget for radios. I had it installed on an AP running OpenWRT so it was just a case of plugging that in and getting people to install the app and connect to it.

Along with the options already mentioned, if you're not into TeamSpeak, there is an open source alternative called Mumble which operates in the same manner. No internet required, and is supported on multiple platforms.
