I have been giving some thought to the next steps for the coop brum tech infrastructure. I will lay out my thoughts in preparation for a coherent proposal later.
Here’s a rough outline of ideas in no order:
Buy brum.coop domain name- Migrate forum to forum.brum.coop (will this break historic links?)
- Setup and migrate email accounts to Web Architects
- Spin up Single Sign On that is synced with our Open Collective
- Integrate Single Sign On with apps
- Deploy Nextcloud file storage
- Select and deploy chat software (Matrix? DelatChat?)
- Deploy Mastodon server
- Encourage use of forum
- Investigate Decidim for community organising
- Work out how to fund all this
- Encourage creation of social media strategy
