From the docs, &quot;It is strictly recommended for personal, non-production use.&quot;<p>Wow what a 180 from just a year ago when their blog said, &quot;For companies that handle sensitive information, deploying open-source scheduling software on-premises can offer an extra layer of security. Unlike cloud services controlled by external vendors, on-prem installations let teams maintain full ownership of their infrastructure. &quot; ¹<p>I just cannot trust a company that does a bait and switch like this.<p>¹ <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cal.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;open-source-scheduling-empower-your-team-with-customizable-features" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cal.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;open-source-scheduling-empower-your-tea...</a>

Wait, I didn&#x27;t even realize Cal.diy is owned by Cal.com. It seems like they&#x27;re trying to get ahead of the open source community forking by doing this themselves

Cal.com has always had an open source community edition, I&#x27;ve been using it for some time. Is this just a rebrand of that line?

It’s curious what they said in the email they sent me about the OSS version.<p>------<p>A few important changes to note:<p>We will no longer provide public Docker images, so your team will need to build the image yourselves.<p><i>Please do not use Cal.diy — it’s not intended for enterprise use.</i>

are there notable open source forks or open source cal competitors that go for the &quot;just keep it simple&quot; vibe?
