Any Waterloo folk want to talk about sovereign tech? I think we should do a sovereign tech meetup. This stuff is feeling really important and so I'm starting to think.
@Bob Jonkman But like - literally - I'm thinking we grab a patio spot at like - the Piper Arms or somewhere simple? And do a meetup? Labour Day feels like it would be symbolic but busy?
I think it is a good conversation and I am going to follow you for your thoughts about it, but I cannot do meetups with any level of consistency these days. I know extremely little, but am interested in getting my stuff off of US servers.
@Rob Drimmie Hey! I don't know if I can say much! But I'm mostly just trying to figure out what kind of conversations we as tech workers can have to improve the situation. All my stuff is hosted from my house though so I'd love to talk.
(We talked many years ago when I was working for for Athena Software if you recall! Hello!)
@Stephen Childs I'm thinking I'm going to suggest a time in early September, find a restaurant, and get some core questions and figure out what people want to talk about

Home hosting is likely the right solution. My needs are very basic.
