Snowdrift.coop is still working to get launched, and we've made huge progress in charting the path forward. You can help too!

Read our latest blog post to find out why Snowdrift.coop would make an excellent addition to the @fsf High Priority Free Software Projects list, heading a new key area of focus, Sustainability and Growth. #FSF #FreeSoftware #FreeLibreOpen #SustainableUserFreedom https://blog.snowdrift.coop/2021-high-priority-free-software-project-list/

Snowdrift.coop work lately has been busy but all behind-the-scenes, little to show yet publicly. Update from this week: successful transfer of all our servers to OSUOSL https://osuosl.org after 18 months of on/off planning. Closing our AWS account. This enables the Snowdrift team to not worry about sysadmin issues and focus solely on getting launched!

Snowdrift.coop will have a few representatives (a couple of whom are giving talks on tangential subjects) at #LibrePlanet2020

May also have a chance for some meetup, let us know if you'll be there and want to connect!

Blog post about Snowdrift.coop being at upcoming #SeaGL2019

https://blog.snowdrift.coop/seagl-2019/

Links to talks, mentions the update that we'll have a table @SeaGL for the first time!

Several team members from Snowdrift.coop will be speaking at @SeaGL #SeaGL2019 in November

More details on our event posting at our forum: https://community.snowdrift.coop/t/seagl-seattle-wa-november-15-16-2019/1372

Thanks to partnership with @OSUOSLhttps://osuosl.org we are finally getting our core servers and systems more solid and reliable!

Dealing with those things has been a major distraction and obstacle (costing us months to years even). We're now going to have that stuff in place as a stronger foundation for the rest of our development and organizing!

(Longer blog post coming once the process is farther along)

Snowdrift.coop will have a full booth at the upcoming LinuxFest NW April 26-28 in Bellingham, WA #lfnw2019

https://blog.snowdrift.coop/lfnw-2019/

Come hear about progress! We're also recruiting new volunteers and starting formal discussions with the first outside projects!

New blog post (finally, a year late) announcing our new forum: https://blog.snowdrift.coop/new-forum

New homepage with fancy animated video is now live at https://snowdrift.coop

We only spent about 2 years of (on and off) work on it, so don't expect perfection. ;)

Hopefully, we'll get around to writing blog post about it sometime soon.

Maybe it's unrealistic to see excitement about a ToS or Privacy Policy but we've worked to make the best, human-readable, ethical new policies:

- https://snowdrift.coop/terms

- https://snowdrift.coop/privacy

Primary driver of the overhaul is announcing our new forum (also highly adjusted to be the best it can be):

https://community.snowdrift.coop

All connected policies including Code of Conduct have been overhauled.

https://community.snowdrift.coop/guidelines

Feedback always welcome. Coming soon: blog posts, more announcements…

some Snowdrift.coop team members and supporters will be at #CLSummit 2018, this weekend in Portland and also stopping by the expo hall of #OSCON next week.

If you're going and want to meet up, let us know.

Hi all, Snowdrift.coop is an in-progress funding platform for public goods. We used to use @snowdriftcoop but that instance of GNU Social is dead.

Follow us here. Lots of announcements coming in the future.
