Autonomic Cooperative @autonomic@sunbeam.city

Another month rolls by and here is our status update for July! Loads of stuff happened 🚀 https://coopcloud.tech/blog/this-month-in-coop-cloud-july/

Today I heard from @handle that the next NLNet grant application deadline is in 4 days -- I also learned that this year they have a new category called "User Operated Internet". I got really excited about this because the last time I applied to the NLNet grant program, there wasn't really a good category for my project to fit under. But "User Operated Internet" is perfect!

I spent today throwing up a rough draft of a home page for my project. In the past I have called it Greenhouse, but I am thinking now I'm going to change the name to Server Garden, because the original thing that was going to be called Server Garden is now on hiatus.

Please take a look and let me know what you think! I know it has tons of issues, but I'm still interested to hear what folks think about it:

Want to talk about Co-op Cloud to some humans in real-time?

Join us for "Kite Flying Hour", in just over an hour at 3pm CEST: https://meet.jit.si/CoopCloudKiteFlyingHour

The #coop I work with is #hiring.

We do things with open data for public good and social change.

Equal pay (£40k/pa), flat structure, remote work. Flexible working with part time options. Lots of benefits.

Happy to answer questions here another way (https://rhiaro.co.uk/contact)

Can't stop thinking about a new model for community-based development where there's co-ownership between users and maintainers, hybrid coop-style.

Maintainers' buy-in is labor.
Users' buy-in is remuneration for maintainers.

And both get to participate in decision-making.

We are now sponsoring #gitea still small, but we are happy to be finally in a position to start supporting app projects financially as well. https://gitea.io/en-us/

Join us tomorrow, July 8th (and every Thursday) @ 1500 CEST / 1300 UTC for "Co-op Cloud Kite-Flying", an informal drop-in session to talk, hack, and plan! 🤙

🎉

Hi all! We're the folks behind Co-op Cloud (https://coopcloud.tech), a project which aims to build out a digital configuration commons for tech co-ops and democratic tech collectives. Our approach aims to maximise sharing, co-operation and reuse for setting up and maintaining libre software infrastructure. We have a public matrix room at `#coopcloud:autonomic.zone`, feel welcome! The project is currently in public alpha and super young ☁️ 🎩 💻

The traffic caused by these distributed spam attacks is currently causing federation delays for servers which are participating in a targeted room; we are working on a performance fix for Synapse to address this.

IMPORTANT: We're seeing a large scale attempt to bulk-register bot accounts across the public Matrix network (including captcha bypass) in order to perform spam flood attacks. If you're running a public homeserver please disable open registration, or require email for signups.
