The ‘crash team’ of Ops members and Board members @andia @dvdjaco @Graham @mnoyes @mikemh @wouter intends to:
- Open conversations (Feb 2023) with:
-
- social.coop (a multi-user member and Board member of meet.coop)
- May First Movement Technology (an early member of meet.coop) -
Updatesee here Evolution 1 - Find a new home - #21 by jamie - femProcomuns/Commonscloud (a multi-user member and Operational member of meet.coop)
- Collocall - fallback option if multistakeholder coop home isn’t found (a federation of workers’ coops, an Operational member and Board member of meet.coop) -
Updatesee Evolution 1 - Find a new home - #5 by mikemh - WebTV (Montreal, new contact via Remix) - See @gcotnoir below.
- Others?
- Other regions? South America? India? Africa?
- At three months (May 2023) - agree partnership & a timeline for migration with the new host coop.
- If a multistakeholder coop able to take up the platform operation isn’t available at that time, the fallback is to make arrangements with Collocall, to offer a BBB service to our members.
- At six-to-eight months (October 2023) , close meet.coop memberships & BBB server ops
- Criteria: The host organisation should be:
-
- A coop or federation of coops
-
- Experienced with and committed to provision of platforms running on libre software
-
- Preferably a multistakeholder coop with a strong community-facing /community-involving practice, rather than a workers’ coop,
-
- Able to work with and for members across continents: Europe, North America, preferably also South America, and possibly other regions, and as an aspect of this:
-
- a capacity to operate in plural languages is very desirable.
