I have been a member of HCoop since 2005; I wrote the Domtool Emacs mode, was involved in the 2009 migration project, started the hcoopstatus Identica group, and am redesigning the member portal. My platform: * Plan to expand to 150--250 members during the next year and then end the pledge system once we can do so without increasing dues significantly. * Move HCoop accounts to the National Cooperative Bank or a similar credit union. * Implement a strong environmental policy when we are financially able to; purchase carbon offsets to compensate for our use of nonrenewable energy. * Document development processes for our custom software and recruit a fourth admin. Also consider making it possible for admins to delegate certain tasks to trusted non-admins. * Last but not least, I will have HCoop T-shirts printed, finishing the project that NathanKennedy began in 2005. (: == OpenID server == Would it make sense for HCoop to be an [[http://openid.net/|OpenID]] provider? [[http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gracie/0.2.6|Gracie]] is a server that authenticates users using PAM, and it's in Debian. We could allow users to register their identity URIs using domtool, as well as supporting `http://hcoop.net/~user` automatically. |

- Try out account renaming
- Jitsi Meet support
ActivityPub-based libre social networking system (e.g., Mastodon, Pleroma/Akkoma, misskey, etc.; there are other AP-based services like bookwyrm,
- Matrix or a similar libre text-chat system (maybe; at least we have IRC and XMPP)
- Finish HCoop packaging for Guix to make it easier for non-sysadmins to experiment
in progress: Implement client-side HCoop integration under Guix System (openafs package and service completed)
Help resolve the WikiReplacement2021 situation
Automagic LetsEncrypt integration: ideally make it entirely automatic and enabled by default
