Need tips on where to apply for funding, for making a guide (book?) on how to make your own community-hosted email commons. It will be mixed with technical writing and ideological stances of a commons.
Challenging the narrative that email is hard to run (and that you shouldn't do it)
I'm part of running an email commons - a community-hosted email service with around 200 email accounts on a small server.
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.
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
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.
Do you have ideas on where to apply for funding, please let me know
And also feel free to boost!
