Welcome to the pub.solar wiki!

This wiki is meant for collecting information and documentation around the pub.solar services and community. This wiki is open for everyone with a pub.solar ID to edit. If you think information is missing, feel free to add it! We're especially grateful for tutorials and how-tos on moving away from proprietary services to pub.solar.

The pub.solar community

Everyone that does work for pub.solar is part of the crew, though only specific crew members have administrative access to the infrastructure.

Following the social.coop model, pub.solar is divided up into several areas of work; community, tech, and finance & legal. We are currently a lot smaller than social.coop however, so pub.solarians are not members of just one WG, but rather just part of the crew.

Community

This concerns itself with organizing community events like hakken.irl, making sure user documentation is up-to-date, moderating community spaces, improving the onboarding process for new pub.solarians, and other people-things.

pub.solarians with moderation rights are:

• @teutat3s
• @axeman
• @hensoko
• @b12f

Technical

This is about maintaining the pub.solar infrastructure. The whole infrastructure is captured in one git repository, which can be accessed in our forgejo instance under pub-solar/infra. The technical documentation for the infrastructure is also located there.

pub.solarians with administrative (root) access to the infrastructure are:

• @teutat3s
• @axeman
• @hensoko
• @b12f

Finance

This is about making sure that the finances are in order. This means doing bookkeeping, and handling payments and donations. Financial statements can be found in our forgejo instance under pub-solar/finances.

pub.solarians with access to the bank account are:

• @teutat3s

Legal

This concerns itself with making sure the privacy policy is up-to-date and correct, that we're running everything according to our statutes, and anything else that might touch the law. Legal documents can be found in our forgejo instance under pub-solar/legal.
