* '''Jordan:''' if we are aiming to be available to everyone equally and we have a relatively large org associated (NM), then we should be carful asking for money. | |||
** We could ask for companies or well established PIs to pay, but not the general user. | |||
** Conferences could be expected to pay into using the instance (NM could use this instead of Discord) | |||
* '''Jonny:''' agree -- joining should not be a financial burden, but having the instance largely paid for by a single entity creates it's own risk. Even a nominal donation via a sliding scale can create a little more funding, good to have more funding that just the bare minimum. Everyone can feel like they own the instance. | |||
** '''Jordan:''' 2 or 3 users donating $5 a month is a surplus <br /> | |||

* '''Discord''' - This could also be slack if there are strong feelings, but Discord not requiring you to pay some absolutely preposterous amount to have a large chatroom that can see further than 90 days in the past is the main reason here. Ideally we would move to Matrix eventually, but for getting started, it's very easy to send every member a link to a discord to join. | * '''Discord''' - This could also be slack if there are strong feelings, but Discord not requiring you to pay some absolutely preposterous amount to have a large chatroom that can see further than 90 days in the past is the main reason here.

It's built by co-opers for co-opers and we use it and love it over at social.coop. An alternative here might be Discourse but it doesn't have the same kind of support for decisionmaking in my experience, particularly when this is intended to be the governance board (rather than a general chat space). | ||

* '''Nick:''' agree w/ the need for all of these. Comment to slack -- we get nonprofit discount so it's very cheap to have unlimited messages. It would be good to keep a closeness to NM mission. | |||
** '''Jonny:''' challenges to existing NM slack -- if we are expecting several thousand people in the instance, they would then have access to all channels. The onboarding/agreements will be different. The chat should be governed by the Mastason members as well. | |||
*** '''Nick:''' yes, fair. we do have multiple workspaces. We can create new workspaces, could make it easier for people to move btwn them. | |||
**** '''Jordan:''' agree we should try to keep tools consistent. if we think we do need a very separate tool, then we might need to ask the question again of if it should be separate from NM. | |||
**** '''Jonny:''' focus is really to make sure we can run the instance | |||
**** '''Manisha:''' -- likes the support tickets on discord | |||
Decision: Lets bring this discussion back into the slack channel - no firm decision made | |||
