I'm excited for this move for several reasons:

1. Once it's done, @jrenken then can start working on other Sandwich projects. As the person who is also the Sandwich project manager, this pleases me greatly.

2. We'll be able to start writing actual documentation for folks who want to run their own Mastodon servers using open source tools!

3. Being on our own server means more customization!

I'm starting to get a feel for more of what I'll be focusing on regarding my original posts to this account. I like the idea of posting BC-focused original content here, with pan-Canadian things being posted on my other account at @trishalynn. And #SOSSBC stuff here, always.

BTW, when I read the hashtag, I think "sauce book" and I can't get that out of my head now.

"#SOSSBC for #FOSS Stuff"? Is that a catchy slogan, but in a dumb way?

It's my third #mastodonniversary today! Crazy!!

To celebrate I am getting ready to help host and chair the first #SocialBC and Society of Open Social Servers of BC Annual General Meeting tomorrow with @arbutus and @jrenken

it starts at 5PM! full info in the announcement 📢

If you are in BC and would like to help grow a #regional instance come on over! There is no requirement to be part
of the Society but any SocialBC account holder
can be at the AGM and anyone who has donated at least $20 in the past year is a full member and can vote and volunteer for the Board!

Onward for the #opensocialweb!

Agenda and more info here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uSv4gQvcONqHOIVGkcC8Bdb5O5la-yha9Nt9yS2S_48/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.sli6t0x2jvjp

(The announcement is under the megaphone 📢 on the homepage and also in your email)

1/n #SocialBC update!
As per previous Agenda: We've modified our Bylaws and Constitution to ensure elected officials and officers of for-profit corporations are deemed “non-voting members" and are not eligible to be on the #SOSSBC Board.

We thought this was important to avoid any potential conflicts of interests and inappropriate influence.

Draft here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k9Y-1N-kXLfxJRC4EZ7wZqq6sVULLnuF/view

If you're interested in participating on our Board, the invitation is open! Just DM myself, @arbutus or @jrenken.

made it home! long rainy drive!
But it was worth it to hang out with #socialbc pals @PhotographyElf and @arbutus and remotely with @jrenken!

Got stuff done! ✅
