Attendees: Koen, Ronny, Valentin, Jean-Luc Dorel (European Commission)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Working website at fediversity.eu
|
||
|
|
* Set up a Git repository
|
||
|
|
* Will be restructured for more clarity
|
||
|
|
* Set up Mastodon and Pixelfed, Pixelfed planned
|
||
|
|
* Working on deployment automation that will be shared
|
||
|
|
* 45 grant proposals for Fediversity projects
|
||
|
|
* 547 total proposals for the NLnet October deadline
|
||
|
|
* It will take until end of December for selection, 4 reviewers
|
||
|
|
* Cannot disclose preliminary survey due to impartiality requirements
|
||
|
|
* Koen met Walter (CEO of NORDUnet) and Erik Kikkenborg (our new contact for Fediversity)
|
||
|
|
* Got declarations of intent from 3 universities
|
||
|
|
* Discussed to offer all of the projects in the proposal, as well as
|
||
|
|
* Edumeet
|
||
|
|
* It's quite new but can completely replace BigBlueButton, more open
|
||
|
|
* Developed and adopted by NORDUnet
|
||
|
|
* Allows us to connect Geant, since they're also very interested
|
||
|
|
* EduVPN (https://www.eduvpn.org/client-apps/)
|
||
|
|
* Will help us connect with SURF (https://surf.nl), talked with Wladimir
|
||
|
|
* Nextcloud
|
||
|
|
* The nordics still use Owncloud, this might help them switch to more open software
|
||
|
|
* We may be able to connect the new applications to the fediverse
|
||
|
|
* Recording videos with Edumeet you can publish them on Peertube and publish them in the fediverse
|
||
|
|
* This makes it easier for institutions to see all the projects
|
||
|
|
* Jean-Luc: This sounds like a digression. The project is primarily about the fediverse, please keep that in mind.
|
||
|
|
* Please document whatever you do and make sure it's reproducible
|
||
|
|
* Koen: These are very important to get the universities on board, and opens up future opportunities to transition them to FOSS and fediverse
|
||
|
|
* Changes in personnel:
|
||
|
|
* Matthias left Tweag
|
||
|
|
* Taeer joined the project, will soon leave
|
||
|
|
* Valentin and Nicolas joined recently
|
||
|
|
* (brief explanation of the role of Nix and NixOS)
|
||
|
|
* (discussion of advantages and drawbacks of the computational approach Nix takes)
|
||
|
|
* We will nixify the pilot applications
|
||
|
|
* We have chosen Proxmox is an intermediate layer to programmatically create virtual machines and virtual networks
|
||
|
|
* There's an NGI-funded project that allows deploying Proxmox with NixOS
|
||
|
|
* This will help involve people who are already hosting with Proxmox
|
||
|
|
* Jean-Luc: What about EDPS (https://www.edps.europa.eu)? They could be a downstream "customer" for the project.
|
||
|
|
* They need a data protection impact assessment of Mastodon
|
||
|
|
* Koen: Remy will pick this up
