# LibreGaming community
|
||||
|
||||
We are a community dedicated to playing and developing libre games, that is videogames and board games with free/libre software and algorithms, and free/libre assets (textures, musics). We believe [software should be o](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.html) as part of a global struggle for freedom and equality online and offline.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
1. Initial meeting 2021-08-07 https://hribhrib.at:5443/upload/5035aee454f8553c88bd1f7623218485341099ed/dZSQFC3lP1lMmTQFyfLKQFBBDIC4tOrQ41Js4nzn/firstthoughts.txt
|
||||
2. We are called "Libre Gaming"
|
||||
3. libregaming.org
|
||||
|
||||
TBC:
|
||||
* Chat should be feature-rich by default
|
||||
* Color scheme: Orange #FF8F23 Blue #4FBAD5
|
||||
|
||||
## Consider
|
||||
|
||||
* Community name
|
||||
* https://poll.disroot.org/LZwvudXCHyBvDY2d
|
||||
* can't be absolutely confirmed until we've done a domain name poll, see https://paste.debian.net/1204068/
|
||||
* https://webapp.oulu.fi/framadate/adminstuds.php?poll=Vmv6hF1oJ9ain1SIusvq7qk8
|
||||
* Privacy (this room intentionally public/always so others feel free to contribute)
|
||||
* Moderation
|
||||
* explicitly not free speech? (yes, we should discuss an explicit moderation policy if possible -eric)
|
||||
* Free speech means the government can't say what is allowed to say or not, but doesn't mean we cant have our own rules as a community... https://xkcd.com/1357/
|
||||
* Loose collective rather than strict organisation
|
||||
* please be pretty free about sharing out admin permissions etc. with names you recognise
|
||||
* but also don't ask permission for stuff, just go ahead and do it e.g. editing etherpads, but don't hesitate to let it be known so that others can review what you did
|
||||
* Style (CamelCase, prefix/suffix aliases, hyphen/underscore, color palette, never shorten etc.)
|
||||
* Maintain a room directory until the history/joinability is fixed (see Libre Gaming Space.png)
|
||||
* ^ ? what's that PNG? can we have a link? - uhh yes, see Files below
|
||||
* Matchmaking
|
||||
* Individual pages for every game describing how to get started (basic controls, what tutorial to play, where to get the game, etc)
|
||||
* ^ maybe a collaboration with libregame wiki? https://libregamewiki.org/Main_Page
|
||||
* Reach out to the communities invite them to organise with us
|
||||
* Bridging: XMPP, irc (limited rooms?), discord?
|
||||
* pro-actively bridge to IRC but be clear that it's a degraded user experience and try to limit the sheer number of rooms to match user expectations
|
||||
* The bifrost matrix bridge to XMPP is not great, perhaps can host a public XMPP gateway to matrix instead?
|
||||
* matrix-bifrost is the only xmpp-matrix bridge in both ways
|
||||
* it's also not good on xmpp->matrix side, at least when using the official matrix.org gateway
|
||||
* Could do with something like https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-appservice-irc/latest/usage.html#message-behaviours or https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-signal/blob/master/ROADMAP.md
|
||||
* Discussion (long) about Discord: https://matrix.to/#/!qLhNfILESSCaasbRWB:freedombox.emorrp1.name/$pES_yrnhm4kjonxfnrPmqV2dv3CmAyWBH2eadKgZ4wM?via=freedombox.emorrp1.name&via=matrix.org&via=nordgedanken.dev
|
||||
* 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
|
||||
* delegate basically a subdomain per person and per game/tool
|
||||
* List of polls
|
||||
* List of external resources (e.g. time.is)
|
||||
* What we are not:
|
||||
* Free Software purists (really? my impression was a bit different :p ) (it's a delicate balance between being rabid about discussing only foss and bridging everything to discord...)
|
||||
* a haven of free speech (what does that mean? are nazis welcome here?) no. maybe.(definitely not)
|
||||
* anti-non-free in everything (but more Libre the better) see Discord above
|
||||
* leaving anyone behind; we should strive for equal access to communication and gaming tools (good job so far)
|
||||
* for gamers interested in playing/discussing non-free games too, point towards Gaming Space or Linux Gaming etc.
