I'm getting started with a #CoSocialCa Holiday Hangout!
CoSocial members and anyone else welcome on Jitsi https://jitsi.cosocial.ca/2023HolidayHangout
@rndeon joined me on stream, is doing some trouble shooting with Jitsi
You'll note the jitsi has a cosocial address. It's one of the things that we're running on our Cloudron for ops support for the co-op.
We've got @Sebprovencher joining us
Reminiscing about early Canada startup days in ~2007
Seb used to be a "top social media expert" in Quebec in those early days.
Worked with @walkah at Bus.com
Talking about "who should run an instance" @Sebprovencher as well as how to promote both co-ops and fediverse
Government? Local movements.
Can we channel "buy local" for adoption?
Seb has been following #Montreal and finding / discovering new people and original stuff.
Strong 2006/7/8 early social vibes.
Yay @alkatandan has joined us!
We're exploring apps on the new #Cloudron ops server.
This is a screen shot of the app catalog.
We'll make a call out for people interested in #Castopod as one example of a service we might offer https://castopod.org - fediverse enabled podcast hosting!
We did a bunch of stuff live on my own test server at #CommonsComputer
So here's the first post from the amazing "Boris Self Hosting" podcast, which you can follow directly @bmannselfhosting
Note: not a real podcast :) @rndeon followed along as we pushed some buttons to bring this live.

Here's a #Castopod screenshot of my #CoSocialCa account following, favouriting, and boosting the podcast post
I'm going to log off a little early. Productive and fun session!
We'll try to normalize doing this more regularly.
@alkatandan has been doing a great job with every other week member hangouts.
But we've got Jitsi for video/audio chat in browser and maybe we can just normalize #CoSocialHangout as a tag any member can use, for people to just hop on, chat, cowork whenever people have time and interest.
I'll post some wrap up notes to the members forum https://members.cosocial.ca/t/end-of-2023-holiday-hangout/210
Good night!
@boris ooh I like that jitsi to cowork .. can just post if needing a body double
@evan if I can get *2 people* to commit to experimenting / documenting / onboarding, we can totally do this.
I'll take the screenshots and things I just made and post to the members forum to explain what's possible.
@boris so, we were hoping to get a poll going on next production service. We have a lot that people want, and it's one of our strategic goals this year.
@evan Pixelfed is already in progress on a “production” track and was identified as the highest of interest (though not a vote per se)
Castopod is possible in “test mode” because it’s a one click install on the ops server. So, no additional tech bandwidth needed.
The bandwidth we’re missing in this case is learning and testing Castopod.
@boris Yeaaah!
I am super interested. About one month ago I was asking on #Castopod’s Discord channel if there are any Castopod community servers… apparently there are none!
It is really not worth it for me to host a whole Castopod instance just for my weird, discontinuous podcast, with new episodes published about twice a year…
This is great news, then! thank you!
@tommi that is super surprising to me that there aren’t any, because it seems pretty easy to run.
I don’t think you’re in Canada, so #CoSocialCa membership won’t work for you, but if we get 3+ people interested I’ll host a shared server.
