 Overall, Co-op Cloud has architectural and organisational advantages over existing libre options like Yunohost and [Caprover](https://caprover.com), and our open governance and libre licencing make Co-op Cloud a better long-term, pro-social choice than proprietary platforms like [Cloudron](https://cloudron.io). Versus options like [Ansible](https://ansible.com) or [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io), Co-op Cloud aims to be usable by less-technical users, to reduce their reliance on third parties to manage their data and tools.

+# Resolution 046: Federation Member Onboarding
+
+topic: new member onboarding
+date: 2026-09-16
+deadline: 2026-10-16
+size: large
+
+## problem
+New members of the Federation have many questions about decision making processes, Federation history, and active efforts. There is a historical norm that when an existing member vouches for a new member they also help the new member find information, but this is not always clear to the new member.
+
+## resolution
+This resolution proposes that we commit to a formal "onboarding buddy" role. After a new member has joined the Federation, the existing member who vouched for that member agrees to:
+- within 2 weeks of acceptance:
+  - assist the new member in joining relevant internal communication channels (at least Federation and Voting Delegates channel)
+  - assist the new member in adding their project to /federation/membership
+- within 1 month of acceptance:
+  - schedule an orientation call to welcome the new mebmer and answer any questions they may have
+  - direct the member to /federation/finance to assist in paying their dues
+- within 3 months of acceptance:
+  - be available for answering asynchronous questions within 1 week
+  - serve as support for any proposals, recipe maitenannce, or any work effort the new member hopes to contribute to the Federation
+
+After this 3 month period, the "onboarding buddy" role will be considered fulfilled.
+
+This resolution further proposes that up to 3 volunteers shall be found to collect resources for a new member onboarding checklist for both new member and their buddy. This resource will consist of at least:
+- communication channels for active Federation efforts
+- links to proposals about decision-making and budgeting
+- points of contact for other active Federation members
+
+Estimated amount of work:
+- each new member will create an expected 1 hour of work per week over three months for the vouching member
+- the new member onboarding resource will create up to 10 hours of work for up to 3 volunteers
