== 2010 Board Statement ==

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.
 * 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
Line 37: Line 24:
Gitweb URIs: Repo.or.cz uses cleaner URIs than gitweb's defaults -- for example, `/w/foo.git/commit/abcdef` for viewing an individual commit. We should patch our gitweb script to provide something similar.  * 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
 * Kerberos 2FA support?
 * Single sign-on for hcoop.net services? (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 (the latter is used for both Debian and GNU packages)
 * 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)
 * Review [[https://pad.drutopia.org/p/libresaas|LibreSaaS list]]
 * Debug wiki list CSS: links in items cause additional whitespace
Line 39: Line 47:
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/]]); set up an independent MeetBot instance

Fix moinmoin headings somehow. Many pages use H1 for section titles which makes the outline (in the html5 sense) nonsensical and contradicts w3c recommendations

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
