Boosting my own toot 🤞
I’d love to help but don’t think my expertise is there, I specialise in Quality Assurance in software development.
Great initiative, best of luck!
I don’t know. To start a co-op business we will certainly need diverse skills. At this stage we are just talking, so please stay in the loop if you want to.
I don’t have mastodon (and no real interest in using it), any way to stay in the loop?
I think masto servers get RSS feeds for free. You may be able to follow some users or tags like that
Good question. IDK. I guess the public discussion is happening in parallel on Mastodon and here in this thread. Once we get the thing going we will think about some channels to communicate.
You guys could consider Matrix, probably more suited for instant messaging: https://app.element.io/
Could you develop your proposal?
At the moment it’s just an idea and a call for like-minded people to gather. We are hopefully going to develop it together.
It’s not just an idea, it is a huge idea. In order to provide service you need at least a CPD placed in each continent and a medium sized SRE team. And that’s the beginning.
As a goal it is interesting but it needs a lot of resources.
I do software, systems, storage and data protection. I am interested.
Then you are my kind of person ❤️
This sounds awesome! I work in a small IT firm in Europe and a lot of what we offer our customers is a way to host on local hardware and get away from the American cloud.
I don’t think I’ll be leaving my current job, but you go!
Nice work! Maybe we can partner somehow. Let me first get the team together. Once we decide on a business model we will sure look for partners.
I make a great pizza, I could run the lunch cafe.

Yes, please loop me in, I’d like to help with all I can, I can’t code for shit, but can business problem solve all day long.
You are officially looped in ;-) I’ll be in touch next week.
Interesting read at https://lemm.ee/post/25506145. I’ll be curious to hear your story.
I work with Open Source, Privacy (GDPR etc.) and cyber- and informationsecurity. Im in.
Great to hear that! I’ll contact you next week.
Yes! As long as you can migrate me along with the software.
From the land of the brave and the home of the free? Sorry, I wish I could. Stay strong!
Hello, I’m up for this! I work in IT and infosec. I think we might need a chat to coordinate this
Yes, I will be reaching out to people who are interested (like you) next week.
I’m an aspiring patent lawyer but not trained in IT (although I learned coding just enough to understand some principles). Should you need any help regarding intellectual property rights, feel free to ask me anything. I’ll do my best to help, as I support your cause! However, I won’t be of much help otherwise as I’m currently learning for exams and have to small kids at home.
Thanks for reaching out. Good luck with your exams!
Im a CS Student in my masters, backgrounds in web development, data science and HCI research! I’d love to talk.
Great to hear from you! I’ll reach out to you next week to talk.
I’m super happy with all your responses. Across different fedi channels I got 25 positive answers and even more expressions of support. That’s more than I expected ❤️🔥 In a separate post I wrote a roadmap and will appreciate your constructive feedback. There’s also a logo I quickly doodled and I plan to use as a visual identifications for our project until someone with real talent provides something better.
Put me down on the interested list.
I hereby put you down on the aforementioned list :D Will be in touch.
I’m in Europe, and I’m on the (VERY small scale) supply side, mostly as a hobby on the side of my day job, and I’m curious if the trend will remain in the future.
I found that most cloud-stuff is mostly run by huge corporations who can deliver dirt cheap, or by huge corporations who run their data center in an abandoned mine, so there’s not much of a market segment for those of us who are interested in supplying “farm to table servers”.
Devops/infra engineer/SRE here. I can do a bit of coding as well.
Good to hear! I am just collecting a list of interested people and will be in touch with you and others shortly. Enjoy the evening!
