Notes

• Koen put together concept documents:
  • software stack: https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/meta/src/branch/main/Fediversity_software_stack.md
  • target audience: https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/meta/src/branch/main/Fediversity_target_audience.md

Koen's primary goal for the next months is to achieve consensus

• In the past, too many open source projects went into conflict about who is doing what
• No objections to the general direction
• Postponed discussing details to later in the meeting

Robert drafted an outline of how NixOps4 deployments would work: https://git.fediversity.eu/Fediversity/meta/src/branch/main/architecture-docs/NixOps4-based-installation-process.md

Koen proposes the following procedure, suggested by Ronny:

• daily meetings/standups (16h?)
• Ronny: timebox it to 15 min and have a strict agenda
• weekly 'how are we doing' longer sessions

Valentin:

• Tweag+Procolix engineers meet to try a full deployment of Pixelfed
• Deliverable: List of things to do to make it smoother
• Valentin has many questions on risk assessment of the R&D aspects of e.g. the GUI (portal)
  • Koen will put in text 'why do we need a GUI' and 'risks'.

Laurens: Should we get Nordunet into the dailies?

• Koen: Let's wait for Erik to discuss with his team
• He'll get back to us Tue/Wed

Valentin asks to have Nordunet an outline how they will communicate progress with everyone else, which format, frequency, how to get notified, ...

• Ronny: Universities/public sector organisations may be interested in more than just Fediversity things (such as Nextcloud). If we put more packages into the pool, we may be more of a turnkey solution for them.
• Koen: This would be to discuss with Erik, he seemed enthusiastic.
• Side note: they would like Edumeet
