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.

Just FYI, I now set it up so any changed to the document at the link in my last post, once accepted, will automatically compile to a PDF and update teh version hosted here automatically.

So you can follow this link if you want to see the latest version of the document at any time:

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.

@freemo
ok, I cloned the repository,
got rid of the IBM plex font directives, and can edit locally.

What’s the procedure to push contributions?
Clone??
On bitbucket???
github????
gitlab.com?????
