Cracking off from https://git.autonomic.zone/coop-cloud/organising/issues/79.
I've been thinking about this a lot now that we have funding.
Basically, my role in working on this project has largely been enabled by the Dutch government providing social supports during the pandemic. I had some savings around that also but yeah, I had time to put into this. That is a privilege. I don't want Co-op Cloud to only be accessible to people who have the free time to work on this, unpaid.

Open source infra work has been historically underfunded:
Some positive thoughts around OC discussed in

WIP but good enough for now, I hope.
