  • Any thoughts on how to get this up and going?

    Someone is going to need to pull a lot of weight in planning, organizing, and leading these meetings, presentations, and projects.

    I find that if you communicate the time and financial cost expectations to participate in groups like this, you’ll get a lot of people who are marginally interested and attached to the group and purpose it’s purpose. Which may or may not be important in a successful endeavor.

    What would we need to do on our first meeting together?

    Discuss the questiona you’ve raised here.

    What things would you want to learn in this course? It seems to me that many of us are already quite literate in sub-domains of what we are interested in. Maybe a teacher carousel routine could be adopted? Where we adopt a general “roadmap” curriculum, and, in an ad hoc fashion, assign people to be the instructor for the desired lesson?

    This is a what I mean by someone pulling a lot of weight, a teacher carousel has a slim to none chance of working out. One person is going to need to define and implement the vast majority of the curriculum. They’ll need to do a lot of research and work in advance.











  • Building from source is the opposite of hacky. It’s the recommended way to deal with things like this where you are concerned about trust and security. I understand that it’s not something you’ve done before, but it not as complicated as it sounds. There are many tutorials on how to build programs from source.

    I understand that providing official packages for fedora/rhel, Ubuntu/debian, and arch-based distro packages along with a flatpack and Appimage would make a lot of sense, but for whatever reason, signal has decided not to. Perhaps you can message the signal team to ask why they choose not to do this.
