Our Community
Welcome to KONOSS
Your Gateway to the Kontango Open Source Ecosystem
Hey there, fellow builder! Ready to dive into KONOSS (Kontango Open Source Platform)? We're stoked to have you join our community of makers, contributors, and open source enthusiasts.
What's In It For You?
Access Level
What You Get
Early Access
Latest repos and experimental builds
Behind-the-Scenes
Roadmaps, design docs, and contributor insights
Self-Hosted Stack
Privacy-respecting ecosystem
Active Community
Developers who actually get it
No vendor lock-in, no corporate BS - just solid, community-driven tools.
Step 1: Book Your Onboarding Call
Hit that scheduling link we sent you and grab a time that works. This isn't some sales pitch - we'll literally just:
Get your account sorted
Walk you through the good stuff
Answer your questions (yes, even the technical ones)
Hook you up with dashboard access
Step 2: The Legal Stuff (We Know, We Know...)
Required Step: Review and Accept Terms & Conditions
Look, we have to do this part. You'll need to review and accept our Terms and Conditions before we can give you the keys to the kingdom.
Don't worry though - we're not trying to own your soul. It covers:
Community Guidelines
How to be cool in our community
Contribution guidelines (think: be excellent to each other)
Legal Protections
Privacy policies that aren't garbage
The usual "don't break things maliciously" stuff
Step 3: Welcome to Your New Home
Once you're in, you've got access to our entire self-hosted stack. Time to explore!
Why the Interview Process?
We Get This Question A Lot
We're curating a community, not just collecting users.
Look, we know requiring a quick chat might seem old-school in a world of instant signups. But here's the thing - we're building something different here.
The open source world has taught us that the best projects come from passionate, genuine contributors - not drive-by visitors or people just looking for free stuff.
Our Reasoning
Think of it less like a job interview and more like a coffee chat with fellow developers. We want to make sure KONOSS is a good fit for you, and that you're a good fit for us.
Quality over quantity - that's how the best open source communities stay healthy and productive.
Plus, it helps us avoid the GitHub issue tracker nightmare where half the "issues" are just people who didn't read the docs.
Get Familiar with the Stack
While you're waiting for your onboarding, here's what powers our platform. Spoiler alert: it's all FOSS goodness.
Gitea - Where the Magic Happens
Think GitHub, but self-hosted and without Microsoft breathing down your neck. All our repos live here, PRs get merged here, issues get triaged here.
Why it rocks: Clean, fast, and respects your workflow.
Deep dive: gitea.io
Authentik - Identity Done Right
Single sign-on that doesn't suck. One login gets you into everything - no more password fatigue. Plus it's built with actual security principles, not as an afterthought.
Why it rocks: Built with security-first principles, not bolted on later.
Check it out: authentik.io
Plane - Project Management for Humans
Forget Jira's complexity and Linear's price tag. Plane gives you kanban boards, sprint planning, and issue tracking without the corporate bloat.
Why it rocks: What project management should have been all along.
Take a look: plane.so
