Services

For now, we do not provide any services as LibreGaming collectives. Below you will find a list of services we would be interested to maintain.

Internal use

• A URL shortener
• an audio/video conferencing server? (video requires a lot of resources)

Public use

• A website with information about libre games (maybe cooperate with LibreGameWiki), and links to various related communities, as well as tutorials to selfhost your own libre game servers
• A matchmaking service/bot to find people to play with
• A chat bridging service (eg. matterbridge) for existing communities, to open oneself to new protocols/ecosystems
• Tooling/scripts to make it easier to selfhost libre game servers
• Subdomains on libregaming.org for new projects to get started; only for libregaming projects, because we don't want external projects to technically depend on libregaming.org?

Below hasn't been updated yet

TODO: maybe move to the meeting minutes this last part?

• Discussion (long) about Discord
• object to Discord on principle of non-libre, centralised, compromising ideals, so shouldn't pro-actively bridge channels from here to there
• aware that some libre games have their official communities on Discord, and sadly they may not see anything wrong with that, e.g. strong network effects
• popularity isn't everything, it's ok to be a small cohesive community, but advertising libre stuff on non-libre platforms is ok for outreach
• not everyone agrees with the statements above :p
