I previously posted a members only call to kick off a working group around the Castopod
@aeisenberg and @rndeon said they’d be interested in participating, and @evan said he could be the first podcast user on the system.
Since then, we had call with some Social.Coop including @mnoyes and had the idea of making this an open working group, accessible in public and available for anyone in the Fediverse to come join and learn about configuring,
What we think this Working Group will do
Have a kick off meeting to see who is interested, make introductions, and do a quick tour of the Castopod interface
Gather Castopod resources: make a Public Wiki page and add links
Create some documentation with screen shots of basic operations, from admin to podcast host, of how to use Castopod
Review moderation and other trust & safety feature
Onboard to the CoSocial Castopod instance and use it
Test interacting with Castopod posts using Mastodon, other Fediverse accounts, and different clients
Record and post some podcasts!
Whatever else working group members decide to work on!
What’s the commitment
We’ll use this Castopod Working Group forum category to post notes, discussions, and other material.
You’ll need to sign up for an account. Please introduce yourself by leaving a comment on this post.
We’ll see about working asynchronously, replying to posts and comments.
We’ll have a live kick off meeting and perhaps some check in meetings every couple of weeks.
It shouldn’t take that long to get started. Everything else will be from questions that arise and working together to create some docs.
I’d like to just run a Fediverse podcast
Amazing! If you’re based in Canada, please become a member of CoSocial.
This group can ideally support you in getting started. We’ll likely do a wider “call for podcasters” as we get going, too
