Would be interested in knowing what kind of future projects we're thinking about? Do we want it focused on Federated projects? Or more open communication standards beyond the fediverse?
Something like Canadian Open-Source Communication Advocates (or Association) is very generic sounding
Other than a potential matrix server, I do not currently have anything in mind. The future is unpredictable.
An example of a non-profit effort that I took on in the past is COVID PPE 3D printing with volunteer community printers. If something like that was needed for pandemic or disaster relief again would be nice to not have to go through the trouble of spinning up a new non-profit.
I think we can definitely work with Canadian Open Source Communication Association. Maybe swap out Communication for Community.
I like it!
Wikipedia: "A cosca (Italian: [ˈkɔska]; pl. cosche in Italian and coschi in Sicilian), in Sicily, is a clan or Sicilian Mafia crime family led by a capo."
:D
FWIW I’m not sure I’d be excited that my donations to Lemmy.ca would be spent on disaster relief. Some related projects make sense (other federated communities, online Canadian content ,etc) , but I stopped donating to Wikipedia after getting tired of their tangential charity shit.
To that end, some ideas
I’m not sure if the name will make a huge deal if you can do “business” under another name. If the society name is “Lemmy.ca and associated project deployments for Canadians by Canadians” can you “do business” (receive donations to, brand websites as) Lemmy.ca? There’s nothing really unclear about “the Lemmy.ca matrix server” or “an instance of mastodon run by Lemmy.ca”.
This one sounds like a parody of America Online (which was later renamed and is now known as AOL).
COL, it's high.
Chat Across Canada - sounds catchy!
We could use the matrix commucations protocol to stage union protests ;)
There's been some interest in things like a matrix server, so it'd be good to leave us options for more.
