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!
@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.
