I prefer working in teams rather than solo - assuming many others do, too!
Getting a core group together to collaborate on hosting, first, and approaching with some structure so that its resilient. In addition to that, identifying areas where we can fill Fediverse gaps or innovate (onboarding processes came to mind initially), but totally up for discussion on what others think could be most beneficial.
I’ve set up a Discord server
:facepalm_picard:
Gotta start somewhere! Good for short term collaboration while we spin up matrix
Any type of required skills you would like in this team?
I left skillsets out of my original post because there are many ways for people to contribute beyond sys eng. Generally though - industry experience in tech.
Well I have 12 years of exp as a dev I might be able to help out :) I would love to know more, btw it seems wefwef has no way to send DMs yet it seems?
Glad I read this comment, finally. I just spent 10 minutes trying to work out how to send a DM and assuming it was just me not being used to a new app and missing it.

Ability to digest beans.
I was thinking of a similar initiative. To be honest, I am dreaming of a future where a network of small no-profits and co-ops can contribute to a large ecosystem of free software.
I have some devops experience but my main occupation has to do with security. I would be very happy to help especially in the security space.

Be happy to. Been wondering the same thing. I’ve got a public ip’d VPS that I’ve been wanting to use as a single k8s server or docker server, to host Lemmy and PixelFed containers. Also I can’t figure out how to PM you in the Mlem app lol. Can you PM me?

We discussed before to collaborate on a distributed object storage via https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ to reduce duplication and share the load.
Right now Lemmy/pict-rs sadly doesn't allow using object storage as a kind of CDN, but once it does I would be up for trying it with Garage.

Only temporary, I promise!
Experience shows that temporary measures nearly always become permanent. Just let me know when you have a IRC, XMPP or Matrix channel 😉
Heads up, we’ve created a space on Matrix.org. Here’s the link to enter, if interested! We will be migrating over from Discord https://matrix.to/#/%23fedicollective%3Amatrix.org
Hey OP, you might want to edit your post and include the matrix link instead. Great work on listening to the feedback and moving over to matrix.
Also link you posted is broken, hope this is the right room: https://matrix.to/#/!KIuWdbzrNsRBbAEVtV:matrix.org
Human readable: https://matrix.to/#/#fedicollective:matrix.org
Thanks! Can you add direct aliases to the rooms so that I can join them directly via a XMPP bridge? Right now you can only access the space and that doesn't work via bridges.
Sure, let me know if this works:
- general: https://matrix.to/#/!sqxogmsYhaLzbnoHML:matrix.org
- technical-topics: https://matrix.to/#/!fuocMfxeijGuzIDFVh:matrix.org
- organization-topics: https://matrix.to/#/!UjWRDHtTJJkPkZFuGF:matrix.org
Sorry, maybe I didn't explain it well. AFAIK you need to add "Published Addresses" in the room settings for it to work via bridges.
#fedi-collective-general:matrix.org
#fedi-collective-org-topics:matrix.org
#fedi-collective-technical:matrix.org
Note that this group's name is currently up for discussion and will change in the next couple days. I'll update the published addresses when that happens and share them here!
Ah gotcha, I'm not the admin. I believe @tyfi@wirebase.org is, maybe they can enable it?

Will do!
As others have pointed out: sending a DM from wefwef appears to be a no-go. Is there a rallying point somehwere? A lemmy community, discord channel? I'm interested in being involved but not sure how much time I can commit so would rather throw some effort at something that's got others already coordinating rather than start something that falters everytime work gets in my way.
I'm just starting out with lemmy myself but have decades of experience with tech and work in higher education, so might be best placed working on educational aspects. My plan at the moment is to set up something small dedicated to self hosted services with a focus on containerised deployment and low maintainence effort. Documenting that journey might be useful?

For the life of me I am unable to send you a PM. I'd be interested in working together. I have a couple Dell PowerEdge r720 servers that are up as long as my internet is. Not sure if you're to go that route or more dedicated data centers. Either way, I'd be interested in joining the effort!

Interested to pitch in as well

Can’t PM from the app I’m using at the moment but I’m interested in getting involved. More on the server infrastructure/“business”/graphic design side. Will get in touch in the AM.

Nice initiative.
