Some stuff I absolutely need to get going with in my own data management needs is migrating data from proprietary or otherwise Linux-incompatible programs to #opensource ones.
One glaring example is moving my family tree data from MacFamilyTree to #Gramps. I thought I was gonna be a Mac user forever. Now I’ve seen the light and use Windows and Fedora for all my computing needs.
Another is migrating notes from Apple Notes to #simplenote.
Oh, look! Another nostalgic trip down memory lane by #gramps from the Silicon Underground reminiscing about the good ol' days of the dotcom bubble, when tech stocks were as inflated as a clown's balloon animal. No groundbreaking insights here, just a reminder that some people are still stuck in 2000 while the rest of us moved on.

Edited: Gramps solved it for me in an unusual way.
Hey #genealogy community, before I jump into a coding project, maybe one of you has a solution. Open to free and to inexpensive options.
I want to pull certain information out of note fields, using a GEDCOM file. But the desired information is often split across 2-3 lines and needs to be reconstituted.
I tried #Gramps but it emits no notes to the CSV for me. I Also tried #oxygen and it emits the notes, but without any line breaks, so I would need to write code to parse them.
My thought is to run through the GEDCOM, find the phrase that indicates what I am looking for and then reconstitute that line with the following information and write that out as a single line, ignoring everything else.
Other ideas for tools that write out files that include notes as entered, not split or joined?

ofb.bizThreadsWell, now I’ve done it. When a person mentions genealogy he becomes very popular all of a sudden, as if there’s some secret knowledge he possesses that if divulged will loose the keys to the kingdom. There really is no such knowledge, just a few tricks that anyone can employ. What prevents people who are interested from diving in may be the thought that it can’t be that easy.

@hehemrin bienvenue sur #Gramps ! N’hésites pas à venir poser tes questions sur le #discourse. ;)
Använder du Gramps för att ha ordning på släktträdet?
Jag skulle så gärna komma igång med att först notera ner en del släktrelationer jag redan känner till som har på papper här och där, men föra samman så jag ser relationerna. Förutom att hitta tiden, är det andra att komma igång med mjukvaran på riktigt. Använder du Gramps och har starttips?

I've been using Gramps genealogy software on and off for a year and only just realized you can create custom event types just by typing a new name. Here I thought you have to select ones from the dropdown list and have been awkwardly calling musician activity Occupation and Ordination and so on.

New post about Gramps 6.0 roadmap :
https://gramps.discourse.group/t/understanding-gramps-6-0/6652
The Gramps Project (Discourse Forum & Mailing List) · Understanding Gramps 6.0Development towards the next version of Gramps continues (probably called 6.0). I thought I’d give an update and some additional details. I’ve written about some of this before. The first set of changes has been merged three weeks ago. This changed the internal database representation from what we call “blobs” to JSON data. The “blobs” are actually a binary format (Python pickle) of an array representation of the data. The blobs were a clever solution used since almost the beginning of Gramps. ...

@le_friwi_56 @Yoss1960 #Gramps and #logseq are a perfect combo for my #genealogy #research. See: https://mastodon.nl/@chrisvaniersel/113135277619774294

I really enjoy using #LogSeq as supporting tool for #genealogy #genealogie #research
Ability to use it for no hassle #journalling and #task_managment and get advanced #query functionality makes research and discovery so much more fun!

I am using #Gramps on #Linux for years now. Migrated wayback from #BrothersKeepers, never looked back.
Certainly not idiotproof but very powerfull and, as @Yoss1960 mentioned, lots of plug-ins.
Process Tip: take it one source at the time, use the clipboard (!) completely capture ALL citation, location and event data.
Any #linux users out there use #gramps? Is it idiot-proof? #genealogy #familytree
Are you familiar enough with any of these apps to be able to judge which existing #OER lessons would be suitable for children in grades 4-9? In the schulstick.org#hackathon, we'll show you how to create your own, if there aren't already some good ones... with #LiaScript
