It will be mixed with technical writing and ideological stances of a commons. </p><p>Challenging the narrative that email is hard to run (and that you shouldn't do it) </p><p>I'm part of running an email commons - a community-hosted email service with around 200 email accounts on a small server. </p><p>Our goal is to provide an email-infrastructure to the members of the commons; NOT to grow infinitely, and become yet another central service, waiting to be enshittified. </p><p>We would like for more email-commons to sprout, and would like to help with that, by making the guide that will be freely accessible</p><p>This is not some business-development we need funding for. It's only for developing this guide that could help other communities provide important non-parasitic infrastructure for their local communities. </p><p>Do you have ideas on where to apply for funding, please let me know <img src="https://forum.fedi.dk/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/2764.png?v=7979fdcf9c7" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--heart" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title="&lt;3" alt="❤" /> </p><p>And also feel free to boost!</p><p><a href="https://venner.network/tags/email" rel="tag">#<span>email</span></a> <a href="https://venner.network/tags/funding" rel="tag">#<span>funding</span></a> <a href="https://venner.network/tags/communityhosting" rel="tag">#<span>communityhosting</span></a></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/topic/de2dede2-f956-4156-8d2a-5e38f346a000/need-tips-on-where-to-apply-for-funding-for-making-a-guide-book-on-how-to-make-your-own-community-hosted-email-commons.</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2026 21:15:29 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://forum.fedi.dk/topic/de2dede2-f956-4156-8d2a-5e38f346a000.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Mon, 27 Jul 2026 09:20:26 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Need tips on where to apply for funding, for making a guide (book?) on how to make your own community-hosted email commons. on Sat, 01 Aug 2026 08:49:12 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/ruben%40venner.network">@<span>ruben</span></a></span> how do your plans compare to <a href="https://mwl.io/static/books//run-your-own-mail-server.html" rel="nofollow noopener"><span>https://</span><span>mwl.io/static/books//run-your-</span><span>own-mail-server.html</span></a>?</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://helvede.net/users/svuorela/statuses/117019387636074410</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://helvede.net/users/svuorela/statuses/117019387636074410</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[svuorela@helvede.net]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 01 Aug 2026 08:49:12 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
