Notes
- Admin PM & task tracking
- patcon and garry interested
- start from Civic Tech process
- New meeting pace (table)
- patcon put up minimal website with elon
- discussions
- aether. 3h park convo with burak. how they’re positioned, and their pro offering.
- 2 projects. community+pro. community = p2p. pro = on-site or hosted.
- different appeals.
- why would anyone use this as hosted? there is no competitor. can’t host own reddit. sync chat are non productive. current solution: new rooms. not good enough.
- patcon: this is great opportunity regardless. but not clear how pro will interact with community. will we end up working on a closed product?
- ben: burak wants to build an email service, and an image server. swappable providers?
- wants a team lead model, and aug will allow that.
- garry: fixed rate of $30? yes.
- dev or design? all coding for now.
- where did the commit history go?
- personality-wise. more reserved. likes to work in private tree, and pushes. feels unreasonable for others to have opinions on how he prefers for work.
- ben: lots of convo with burak about models that are less co-optable.
- #action ben setting meeting with burak.
- #action add details to shared hackmd.
- #action #longterm how do contracts work with us?
- #action solicit templates for contracts, and advice.
- one place for meeting notes/actions
- demo’d
- no objections
- nice to have one place
- can self-host ethercalc or hackfoldr itself (but start with hosted version)
- #action back-fill notes
- #decision next week
- https://ethercalc.net/
- https://github.com/hackfoldr/hackfoldr-2.0-forkme
- shortlinks
- ben: more appropriate for infra WG meeting
- #action set meeting date (elon)
- goal: create plan for what we plan to self-host

- aether. 3h park convo with burak. how they’re positioned, and their pro offering.
