@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 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 ops server.

This is a screen shot of the app catalog.

@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.
