Some raw notes by me
=====
Is there interesting in Castopod fediverse service?
Lots of interest in additional services
Examples
Meet.Coop (Canada based!) – quebec, hosted by WebTV
- created by a number of co-ops
- hosted in Germany originally
- too big a burden for the organizations involved
- new accounts, questions/issues
- decided to wind down – but! – in the process, Hypha folks helped make a connection to https://web.tv, migrate it other
- has kept working
Lots of money in the bank social.coop - Open Collective – should we spend it?
Organizing circle is new, and driving things forward.
Tech circle – always rejected getting paid
Community Working Group – mostly deal with registrations and moderation. On call, takes a week a month. Get a stipend, also for meetings. And coordinator gets an additional stipend.
