Some of the discussion here is really great, but everyone should keep in mind that this is an experiment and I'm not sure whether it'll be cost-effective to migrate the content from here to the next platform.

RChain should self-host a loomio instance Closed Tue 20 Mar 2018 4:02PM
Jeremy and Ian and I were talking last night and we're leaning in this direction; for one thing, it opens up the possibility of authenticating coop members via OAuth integration with discord.

IF we determine that loomio gives us everything we need for governance, then I totally think we should self host. and then also we should invite some of the co-founders to sit on the "systems committee" that cathy and ian(h3-uni) are driving

Btw, Loomio is also a coop (https://loomio.coop/) and they've been at it for awhile. When I use their software it feels 'fully formed', meaning it's been thought thru, put thru its paces, and harbors a wealth of invisible decision making. Go for it.

self-hosting looks like it might be more of a pain than it's worth; I made another proposal to use their hosted service but under X.rchain.coop

i actually had a semi biz dev related meeting with two members of enspiral and loomio yesterday and amongst other things they want to connect us with some of the co-founders to consult on this exactly.

Who wants to help administer this loomio instance? Closed Sat 17 Mar 2018 11:01PM
I just wanted to kick the tires, but some folks are starting to contribute material that shouldn't get thrown away even when we transfer to a new platform. I need other folks to share the burden of migrating these contributions. (I just appointed Jim W. as admin.)
Is there a way to export the data from this instance? I'm not even sure I can justify the time to look it up, given my other obligations.

To answer your question about data export: it looks like the data export feature costs $39/mo w/ a ‘Gold’ subscription. While we kick Loomio’s tires, we should either subscribe or pull it from Git and host an instance we control.

I can hop on as one of the admins. Im also talking with some of the co-founders who have a consultancy company thehumm.org to maybe do a few sessions with us and Ian from H3 uni to map everything

Don't think anybody will be upset if data isn't carried over. The instance is named "Experiment".
I'll take on whatever admin tasks that can be performed in the UI.

loomio has recently introduced private instance and integration features
so we could do our own private instance of loomio in the member.rchain.coop website
