| It might also be useful to host hgweb and darcsweb instances. At least one user wants to host mercurial repositories, and several of us use darcs. Next meeting: sign the [[http://www.internetdeclaration.org/|Declaration of Internet Freedom]]. Also probably register as a stakeholder in GNU/consensus -- it's unclear what direction it will take but GNU-approved social networking projects are probably worth tracking Sometime this year: start a Planet HCoop again! http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/ Policy/guideline ideas: Licensing policy: (A)GPLv3-compatible for software, the usual free content licenses for other things? We may want an exception for logos, or just protect them as trademarks like Debian does Internal design guidelines: choose a basic color palette for websites; select common fonts Internal writing guidelines: use gender-inclusive language; promote only FreeSoftware officially, and ask that people consider FreeSoftware principles and the SevenPrinciples when officially recommending a service or organization; write "GNU/Linux" instead of "Linux" when referring to the entire OS |

HCoop member since 2005; served as Secretary 2011--2018
Top priorities
- Jitsi Meet support
ActivityPub-based libre social networking system (e.g., Mastodon, Pleroma, etc. -- Twitter/FB alternatives)
- 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
- Implement client-side HCoop integration under Guix System (openafs service, etc.)
Help resolve the WikiReplacement2021 situation
*scratch*
Automagic LetsEncrypt integration: ideally make it entirely automatic and enabled by default
- Allow use of GNU Guix on HCoop (provided that resource requirements are not too high)
- Informally federate with other hosting coops and collectives? Perhaps go further and informally federate with workers coops as well?
- Better domtool usability; perhaps eldoc integration, a GUI/form-based interface to (a subset) of the language, etc.
- Become a small-scale Gandi domain reseller? (easy "buy and add a domain" system for portal)
- Better voting system for board elections (ranked-choice or similar)? Purely a theoretical issue right now
- Try out some gitweb alternatives, like sourcehut, gitile, .... Minimally a nicer gitweb-type browser would be good; it'd also be useful to have Github/Gitweb-style PRs, though there are probably issues (spam) with allowing that for contributions from non-members (would we need a vmail-type system for auth? or just restrict pushing to members)
- Kerberos 2FA support?
Single sign-on for hcoop.net websites? (not kerberos-based due to lack of browser support under typical configurations, although that's theoretically possible, perhaps with a WebExtension...)
- Disable wiki captchas for logged-in users, or verified users in a particular group
- Try out account renaming
- Licensing policy (libre licensing for software and official documentation)
- Contemplate new/adjusted logo design
- Website design tweaks
- Sieve support for roundcube
- Discuss possible uses of a surplus
- Integricloud offers POWER9-based hosting (presumably with RaptorCS hardware), but is expensive and probably not a good candidate for several other reasons
Rethink VolunteerResponsePolicy: consider ntk's comment on admin vs. operational response times, also perhaps require sysadmins to take some time off periodically
- Evaluate other bug reporting/ticketing systems like osTicket and debbugs (i like bugzilla but some, probably many, people don't)
Application link is not nearly obvious enough on the homepage
- Apparently for email we should have not just SPF but also DKIM (which is way more complicated)
