As an aside, if you're good with funding applications and feel like volunteering a little to help us out in that regard, that would be pretty amazing also.

Feel free to ask us any questions about what it is we're up to - we're an open book.

Separately, more in keeping with our servers purpose:

If there are any programmers (language likely unimportant) who have time and interest to help us out with the #OpenMediaNetwork and/or #OpenGovernanceBody, please, please reach out to either myself or @witchescauldron.

Initially voluntary (as we all are at the moment) lest we get some project funding.

For anyone who is comfortable programming Java for android, has some time to spare and is interested in helping to fix an app that connects teachers with students, please get in touch.

It's paid, albeit not so much for the time being.

Maybe temporary work, bug-fixing, etc; could be more.

Help if you can - they deserve it

Particularly if in Italy - they're now able to accept 0.5% Italian tax donations.

Can anyone help me put together a list of "make life simpler" self-hosting solutions?

Muppeth of Disroot has quit their day job to focus on Disroot.
If you can, help them out.
We need more evidence that decent, ethical projects can be financially stable without the insanity of the commercial world.

Thanks to those who do support, and all in our communities.

We are an imperfect service and response to all the troubles we face, but we will keep working to improve the situation.

Good luck to all others fighting the good fight.

If you're able to, or maybe know someone who can, please help us out.

We're hosting the https://activism.openworlds.info/ and https://campaign.openworlds.info instances,
as well as https://visionon.tv peertube instance,
and a searx at https://openworlds.info.

There's also a public etherpad at https://pad.openworlds.info
and an xmpp server at https://chat.openworlds.info

And we currently get all of practically bugger all for the effort :D
Either way, we'll keep going, as long as we're able

If you have a dji drone, and wants to be able to do survey flight plans for free (while still using DJI-GO), you might be interested in this: https://unite.openworlds.info/mj-saunders/QGroundControl-to-DJI-GO

You will need a rooted phone.
You can use QGroundControl on the phone, or laptop, etc.
And you'll need to be a little comfortable with using a terminal/console.

I'm not sure if there's a way around needing a rooted phone.
Any suggestions for improvements, let me know.

I'm not yet making a personal stance on the RMS state of affairs.

A question though;
Where are all the equivalent open letters for the calls for resignation and removal of heads of corporations and governments that are provably responsible for/ implicated in global scale suffering, exploitation and degredation (human and non-human both)?

Anyone have thoughts/knowledge of this project to share?
