# United Federation of Instances Proposal
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
I tagged below everyone who asked me to tag them. I have now started a gitlab group and project where we can discuss the #UFoI proposal transparently and with a good recorded history.
Please start discussions by creating issues, and any edits you have to the proposal please edit on gitlab and submit as a merge request, which can then be discussed.
I will write the CI code to make sure the document gets compiled.
I will try to leave the mass-message like here just to the major developments as it feels a bit spammy. I will only send out one more notification once the by laws draft is up. Of course if anyone does not want to get notified let me know and ill leave you off from future discussions.

I am rather impatiently looking forward to a link to an editable
$$\TeX$$
source (including style file).
In academic context, overleaf works suprisingly well.
@freemo
That said, where do I get
plex-sans.sty?
@tatzelbrumm no clue what style sheet that is off hand.
@tatzelbrumm oh, all those packages should be installed as part of you tex install.. but you may need to pick a pretty aggressive install package.. most platforms have something like texlive-full that has everything you need.
The server itself will compile the pdf for you when you submit a change by the way.
@tatzelbrumm as we make changes on git it will automatically compile it and publish the new pdf here:
https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf
you can also run gitlab-runner locally on the project to compile it locally
