Hi Nico and all,

OK for me! Just to make it clear, for
now NetHood doesn't need funding
and I would be willing to help another CNSIG member to write a good
application on this topic (for us it would be already a success if we
manage to support a complementary to our running projects effort at a
global scale).
Coenraad appeared as a "ghost" on the etherpad of our CNSIG
panel (and I
spotted him in the audience) but didn't see him afterwards and then he
disappeared again :-)
Whoever is interested on putting together an application on this topic,
please contact me to organize a short meeting to see which are the
options we have.
Carlos and
NicoP had mentioned a "libreserver" project that if I
understood correctly has been somehow put on hold.
Perhaps it could be now revived to develop an optional complement of the
librerouter, a "mini server" to run local and/or distributed
applications (it could be in the simplest case a raspberry Pi or docker
image compatible with better hardware).
Since the grant is small
From what I understand, there's a medium (10K grand)
and a small (3.5K
grant). We could apply for the medium one. it could just
involve the assessment of
existing solutions, guifi's cloudy, https://cloudy.community/, the MAZI
toolkit, http://mazizone.eu/toolkit, yunohost, and other "meta"
platforms and put together some of these in a nice "package" with
improved multi-lingual documentation.
And since the netCommons and MAZI EU projects have already funding to do
exactly this, we could present it as a complementary project that builds
on existing efforts at the EU level, helping for their sustainability
(those project finish at the end of 2018) and adoption, through the
"librerouter" package. Or something like this :-)
Coenraad was the
person in charge of the LibreServer side-project during
the first LibreRouter cycle. I don't know of you are still in the same
location or not anymore, but it seems like a good opportunity to talk
about it. AFAIK, what he was able to do is exactly what you are
proposing: to do
an assessment of existing similar solutions in an organized manner. I
haven't seen the results of his investigation on this matter, but it
should be the natural starting point. Also AFAIK the budget for that
project is considered on-hold too... so that could also be used to bump
this project if correctly managed. I feel we left Coenraad too much on
his own and that led to the project goals not being met.
Maybe joining efforts here can lead to a better result, after all Cloudy
is a guifi.net initiative and well you are part of the MAZI project,
right? so... LibreServer + MAZI + Cloudy might be an interesting merge
of efforts which the CNSIG could spearhead if we can muster the will to
I agree!
do it :)
So, anyone interested to reboot the Libreserver project with the
objective to bring together current efforts (MAZI, netCommons, yunohost,
framasoft, etc.) toward an easy to install "local app for CNs package"
optimized for the librerouter setup?
Cheers!
Nico
