+Cyberia Congress April 26th, 2020
+
+Members in attendence:
+Starless, Cass, Kurtis, Scott, Johnnie, Aedric
+
+The meeting was called to order at 12:12PM
+branch updates
+games- 
+jackbox party cyberia night?
+socially-distant partying
+all in mumble, play gaaaame
+outreach
+events moving online, outreach moving online
+public mumble server picked up a person
+What about a public/federeated social media presence
+kurtis and cass? are interested in looking at this
+we just created a riot room for gardening and we can do similar things for other "non-computer forward" interests.
+meta
+J3s' changes? Maybe we should look at those when he's around
+design branch
+logo meeting review-- discussed unified design language across cyberia services
+go check out the images in the design matrix channel 
+no hard deadline for proposed logos, but submissions are open
+Targeting next congress for a polished logo!
+services
+we are looking to add threads to our matrix channels, but the UI code hasn't been released yet for us to be able to evaluate it.
+we need to also evaluate some software options that would bridge matrix and email
+The lack of threading and organization in matrix makes it diffiult to keep track of specific projects without reading everything in the channel
+forge is our current platform and we are looking to integrate it further into matrix, possibly via forge webhook API messages being piped into our channels.
+bsd support was added to capsul.
+
+Johnnie motioned to approve the agenda as stands, Cass seconded. Motion passed by general assent.
+
+
+open discussion
+
+treasurer update on status payment methods
+Stripe still primary method for capsul and donations
+Stripe javascript on page load?
+Bitcoin and cash process very similar-- send email describing location
+Cass added BTC pay!
+self-hosted, works like stripe but for cryptocurrency!
+the store looks real good
+We could provide this as a service to others who want to accept cryptocurrency payments 
+Do we have objections for people using our services for other deplatformed groups? - legal use is OK
+Review FOSTA/CESTA before fully opening it up
+just got another capsul payment
+we're good financially 'till the end of the year
+over half our assets are in crypto-- we should consider how we want to liquidate this
+bit-liquid.com is based out of Hopkins, we might like to work with them, depending on overhead
+decentralized online crypto exchange bisq, could also work
+we don't need to answer this question urgently-- enough USD to go 'till EoY
+automatic conversion to USD, we'd need to sign up for an exchange
+This seems like a different meeting.
+
+Scott makes a motion to limit crypto sales to a max of 3% fees and at no less than 10% changed market losses. The motion is withdrawn.
+
+We can donate about $100.
+is it better to donate in predictable, small amounts, or as a larger lump sum?
+may depend on the fee structure for who we're donating to
+let's consider places that accept crypto this time?
+last time, we decided 50/50 for services we run on/philosophically-aligned groups
+
+Scott motions to move this discussion to create a matrix channel - one for finance and one for donations, Johnnie seconds.
+- ask Cass to donate $100 by the end of the month
+- 50/50 split among services & philosophical causes
+
+Re-motion ala Kurt seconded by Aedric & Scott
+  - Cass is to donate $50 to ACLU & $50 to Matrix by end of April
+    - details finalized in Matrix in the next few days
+      Passed by voice vote
+
+      Kurt mentions that we ought to formalize the donation process for the sake of our treasurer, bring proposals to next Congress.
+
+      Meta branch was asked to draw up a proposed set of rules around donations Cyberia makes.
+

+      - forge exists!
+      - git server
+      - mailling list serve
+      - tracks issues
+      - trying different integrations with forge & matrix to see if we can find a systemt hat works well
+      - lots of outside interest in services-- 3 or 4 customers from non cyberia
+      - got an openbsd mailing list person :)
+      - go check ou new pricing poposal on the mailing list
+      - respond to mailing list priing stuff on the mailing list
+      - most people's costs will be lower, but our margins stay about the same
+      - if we get two more sign-ups from the new plan, we'll be totally clear
+      - changes are use-based rather than standardized
+
+
+      EARN IT ACT
+      Cas was writing a blog post on this-- blog post will go up today, because we forgot to post it 
+      perhaps another internet blackout day?

+      blackout for a shorter period, limited services
+      Can the EFF run this thing? We should ask themm to do that.
