@jelv We had looked at and even discussed with many umbrella organisations, including in the EU, with a full list here: https://
codeberg.org/comaps/Governance/wiki/Umbrella-Orgs
Unfortunately none of the EU based ones worked for different reasons (e.g. not conducting business in English or not being able/willing to handle a project like CoMaps which is supported by a large number of small donations).
Which at the end left those two options that fit our organisational requirements!
@jacob That’s cool. When I tested Sites, I had a feeling it would build something more amazing than I needed, so told it make a very plain, simple design, and it did that too.
@robinwhittleton fortunately, the machine was bought 9 months ago. And it was bought then (rather than waiting until my actual birthday) because of excellent advice from @martin that RAM prices were about to go through the roof, so it didn't cost that!
@klmr @gedankenstuecke I read the article. He doesn't disagree completely with the DHH's politics, he's just criticizing tone. In many ways, he sounds like a ra-ra pro-capitalist "moderate" saying many of the same things I hear people here in the US say who simply wish the Republican Party weren't quite so Trumpian.
Good thoughts by Dustin Bluck about the decline of indie podcast apps. While I was reading, I kept thinking “we need to do video!” and then I got to that part:
"Video podcasts should be embraced yesterday. There’s absolutely nothing about RSS that demands it be audio-only. Podcasts have never even been audio-only. There’s at least some evidence that video time is replacing audio. This is only going to get worse."
