Maybe for simplicity we could stick to cooperatives being in charge of production, and those actors who fall outside the social and solidarity economy can only be user members.

I think something like this is a good idea.

I have failed to write the Ansible to enable us to start running multiple Greenlight containers by 1st July, it is probably going to be a week late. Perhaps all we should aim to do for July is provide Greenlight containers for members? And once we know how that is working and what the usage looks like and perhaps we have some additional monitoring setup we then decide on our next steps?

We still need to agree on the Service Levels. Chris made a great start in the wiki, which I adjusted to make it somewhat more in line with the ColloCall prices. But I read doubts at your part, let me cite from the Systems architecture thread:

@chris

We can’t currently do this so I think we are going to have to set these variables high for almost all the containers as organisations are not going to generally want to have more than one container, in fact to start with (for the whole of the Alpha stage), we might not want to set any prices and simply charge different organisations based on their size, the type of organisation, wealth of the organisation, an estimate of possible usage and level of non-financial contribution from the organisation. We also need to be aware that if we want to raise funds for things like our own hardware we are going to need to bring in a lot of money.

Now, I think people will want to know what they get before making any level of contribution. If we tell them “you need to pay between 20 and 200 a month, depending on to be defined and implemented usage statistics” they walk away. In fact, many are asking for such definition.

Also the ColloCall prices and service level definitions are rather ok, isn’t it?

In Open App Ecosystem Loomio I posted thoughts about the state of ‘rooms’ technology, referring to Greenlight and the configurability of BBB rooms.

A query came in

Glad to see this more detailed feedback about the Open2020 BBB experience. I had, unfortunately, recommended it to OSHWA based on the earlier report of a successful experience. And I also see that social.coop has decided to join meet.coop which hosts BBB sessions.

Should I rescind my recommendation?

Here are some clips from my response . . meet.coop is working hard on formulating its service offering . . A lot will rest at first on fair-use agreements . . The BBB tech itself works, no problem, the challenges are more about the large-scale administration of the front end . . In the next month, in meet.coop, things will firm up membership-wise and offering-wise.

The thread is here.
