### Kite-Flying Hour rhythm and notes
Due to budgeting and capacity issues, we've switched from having weekly "open floor" calls (read more on the purpose of the Kite-Flying Hour [here](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/comm-org/#kite-flying-hours)) to having them once a month. They've been wonderful informal discussions with folks popping in from all over the world. It's always left us with a warm and fuzzy feeling after the call. We wanted to share some notes from a discussion which was a very rambling and enjoyable scenic journey through the various philosophical underpinnings of the project which might be of interest to curious folks. Notes are [here](https://pad.autonomic.zone/s/CN0vTa-4C#).

### Co-op Cloud @ Home
`@aadil`, `@travvy` and `@3wc` kicked off an exploration of the long-hoped-for-but-so-far-neglected use case of running Co-op Cloud apps on a home-server. We're starting off with working out how to use Co-op Cloud's Traefik instance as a reverse proxy for existing apps on a homeserver that's already internet-accessible -- once that's done we'll be moving on to working around the requirement for a public IP (possibly helping test our comrade `@forest`'s [newly-launched "Greenhouse" system](https://greenhouse.server.garden/)), and then packaging some of the key homeserver apps like Jellyfin and friends.
### App backups are coming
[`3wc`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/3wordchant) has come up with a very promising prototype for a generalised backup solution for Co-op Cloud apps! Following prior art, discussions and experiences with various backup tools, a new [`backup-bot-two`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/backup-bot-two) has arrived and is already being testing in [`150c953c51`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/30#:~:text=Owner-,150c953c51,-https%3A//git.coopcloud). Follow along via [`#30`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/30).

### New apps
### New & improved apps
- [`owncast`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/owncast), self-hosted live video and web chat server for use with existing popular broadcasting software
- [`federatedwiki`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/federatedwiki), share pages circulating within a creative commons
- [`owncast`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/owncast), self-hosted live video and web chat server for use with existing popular broadcasting software, is undergoing some alpha testing on https://owncast.demo.coopcloud.tech, read more below!
- [`federatedwiki`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/federatedwiki), share pages circulating within a creative commons, is now in use on https://wiki.cafe and shortly the OpenLearning project.
- [`snikket`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/snikket), Chat that is simple, secure, and private (N.B. still a work in progress!)
Some screencasting via [owncast.demo.coopcloud.tech](https://owncast.demo.coopcloud.tech/) has been hosted by `3wc` already! If you've got ideas for other apps you'd like to see packaged, feel free to add them straight to the [app packaging request list on git.coopcloud.tech](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/apps/projects/6) (remember, you can log in directly with either Gitlab or Github).

###
We've started an experimental livestream via [owncast.demo.coopcloud.tech](https://owncast.demo.coopcloud.tech/) -- so far, we've worked on adding OpenID Connect Single Sign-On to Penpot, and revving up the engines for `backup-bot-two`. Drop into our Matrix channel if you've got an idea for something you'd like us to look at during a future stream, or if you'd like to join us on one!
### Sustainable infrastructure
We're delighted to announce that nice folks such as [the PeachCloud project](https://peachcloud.org/) are migrating their source code to [git.coopcloud.tech/PeachCloud](https://git.coopcloud.tech/PeachCloud)! This prompted a discussion about how to manage costs of this infrastructure and we've since set up a new tier on our Open Collective for wiring up a recurring payment. See our shiny new contribution tab [here](https://opencollective.com/coop-cloud#category-CONTRIBUTE) and huge shout-out to PeachCloud folks who have [set up the first payment](https://opencollective.com/coop-cloud/transactions?type=CREDIT&kind=CONTRIBUTION). Very Exciting ™
### Co-op Cloud In The Wild
`@3wc` has been working with `@Bortseb` to migrate [OpenLearning](https://openlearning.cc)'s Cloudron- / manual-Docker-hosted infrastructure to Co-op Cloud, which has already provided a bunch of super-valuable testing -- including `abra`'s "local server" mode, and the OpenID Single Sign-On set-up process for various apps. More news soon!
