FramaGit is a free Git hosting alternative that doesn't suck.

@Framasoft are guys with good politics, and even though theirs is still a centralised server, and a self-hosted solution would be better (as long as you don't use MAGAFA servers or IP addresses) this is probably a second best option for small projects who don't know how to, or can't afford to handle their own Git web interface.

@mayel and one of @StephR 's gang are communing about ActivityPub right now, charging ahead, doing experiments, learning how it works...they'll feed back when it's time.

Wondering if we need a new Working Group on platform coop development? Right now our discussions are spread across other working groups and here on social.coop... Hard to keep track.
#platformcoop
#workinggroups

"As you know, I am stronly against goal oriented entities bigger than ~30 people, intentional communities bigger than ~150-250 people and general communities bigger than ~2500 people (exact number pending scientific verifications)."
From another conversation, on another medium

I don't know where #socialcoop is with respect to its relationship with opencollective, but I spotted the other day that they are incentivising the creation of 'chapters'. Not sure yet how this differs from 'hosts'. https://platform6.coop is looking to use opencollective, and wondering whether there might be scope for cooperation?

FYI and anyone else on #SocialCoop, there's a current Tech Working Group proposal here (closing today!) to buy a share in #WebArchitects to get access to their http://git.coop #GitLab service:

(This isn't the final decision, if it passes it'll go to the main admin group on Loomio.)

@ND3JR certainly.

It’s a cool big crazy house being built without a set of plans over there.

People painting in various rooms at all hours of the day.

You can stop and anytime, pick a color or a brush and join in for as long as you like.

Or you can decide the house needs a whole new wing and get lost trying to get that built as well.

life is short, spray paint your own bike lanes

If you like the art, but you don’t like the artist...

Steal the art.

would anyone be interested in a gitea instance for social.coop? I've been running one for myself for awhile, but it's kinda overkill for one person. it'd be super quick to spin up another instance and gitea is super lightweight, so I'd be happy to host it for everyone if someone (@mayel?) can point git.social.coop my way

I really need to participate in the governance of social.coop more. There's so much going on that it seems overwhelming at times, but I joined this instance because I wanted to be part of one that I could have a stake and a vote in, and quite frankly I'm disappointed in myself for not having participated much in the governance.

But, it's not too late for me to change that.

I put version control hosting + activitypub (read: federated github-alternative) on tomorrow's socialcg agenda https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/2018-06-06

@mayel @cwebber hey, progress comes ontop of great irony :3
