     @boris And awesome to see y'all have your own Jitsi—though we're proud to have ours through @mayfirst membership.

     @boris nice! Is your whole system on Cloudron? Do you use it for user management?

     @boris we've just added a separate with system so that Mastodon isn't our single point if failure either, but it doesn't yet interop with Mastodon.

     @ntnsndr we _just_ recently spun up a Cloudron for "ops" purposes -- running the wordpress blog, email for working groups, the jitsi.

     I plan on migrating the Members Discourse from Digital Ocean to this server.

     I'd like to use Mastodon as the single-sign-on, need to do some future experiments there.

     We're "professionally" hosting the CoSocial Mastodon server for scale / without single points of failure, and will for other official services like Pixelfed.

     We'll make a call out for people interested in #Castopod as one example of a service we might offer https://castopod.org - fediverse enabled podcast hosting!

     Yay @alkatandan has joined us!

     We're exploring apps on the new #Cloudron ops server.

     This is a screen shot of the app catalog.

     Talking about "who should run an instance" @Sebprovencher as well as how to promote both co-ops and fediverse

     Government? Local movements.

     Can we channel "buy local" for adoption?

     Seb has been following #Montreal and finding / discovering new people and original stuff.

     Strong 2006/7/8 early social vibes.

     We've got @Sebprovencher joining us

     Reminiscing about early Canada startup days in ~2007

     Seb used to be a "top social media expert" in Quebec in those early days.

     Worked with @walkah at Bus.com

     @rndeon joined me on stream, is doing some trouble shooting with Jitsi

     You'll note the jitsi has a cosocial address. It's one of the things that we're running on our Cloudron for ops support for the co-op.

     We did a bunch of stuff live on my own test server at #CommonsComputer

     So here's the first post from the amazing "Boris Self Hosting" podcast, which you can follow directly @bmannselfhosting

     Note: not a real podcast :) @rndeon followed along as we pushed some buttons to bring this live.

     @evan if I can get *2 people* to commit to experimenting / documenting / onboarding, we can totally do this.

     I'll take the screenshots and things I just made and post to the members forum to explain what's possible.

     @boris so, we were hoping to get a poll going on next production service. We have a lot that people want, and it's one of our strategic goals this year.

     @evan Pixelfed is already in progress on a “production” track and was identified as the highest of interest (though not a vote per se)

     Castopod is possible in “test mode” because it’s a one click install on the ops server. So, no additional tech bandwidth needed.

     The bandwidth we’re missing in this case is learning and testing Castopod.
