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.

Using pub.solar services

Start by creating your own pub.solar ID, a single sign-on account for pub.solar. Click on the link, then click "Register" at the bottom of the page. After entering a username, password and your email address, you're ready to use the pub.solar services. You will be redirected to auth.pub.solar whenever you try to login to one of the sites mentioned below.

To update account information connected to your pub.solar ID, go to: auth.pub.solar.

Also, if you're new to our services, check out Migrating from a proprietary cloud for a basic overview of how to use our services.

The pub.solar community

pub.solar is a self-organized community, and everyone is invited to take part. Please read our Code of Conduct and Community Rules.

Community members that have administrative access to technical, community, or financial areas are considered part of the crew.

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 working group, but rather just part of the crew.

Community

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

pub.solarians with moderation rights are:

@lechimp
@teutat3s
@axeman
@hensoko
@b12f

Technical

This working group is about maintaining the pub.solar servers and infrastructure. Our 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
@realestninja

Finance

This working group is about making sure that the finances are in order, 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 working group 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.
