+# Resolution 024: Budget: 013: Reintroduce kite-flying
+
+- Topic: Reintroduce paid kite-flying hour
+- Date: 2024-10-07
+- Deadline: ???
+- Size: Large
+
+## Summary
+
+Allocate up to €2000 to paying attendees for their presence at weekly "kite-flying hours".
+
+## Details
+
+During the phase of ECF-funded work, Co-op Cloud had "kite-flying hours", an informal weekly call. We stopped doing these at the end of the ECF funding. Currently, our only chance for synchronous check-in with other folks in the Co-op Cloud Community is monthly federation meetings which, as well as only being open to members of the federation, are also proving difficult to organise.
+
+This resolution proposes reintroducing kite-flying hours, initially with a rotating slot that alternates between 12 UTC and 19 UTC on Thursdays in order to accommodate folks in different timezones.
+
+This schedule can be changed as necessary via a Medium decision.
+
+Attendance of kite-flying hours is paid at the standard €20/h rate.
+
+This budget is expected to last around 4.5 months, assuming up to 5 weekly paid attendees at kite-flying sessions.
+
+Time during kite-flying sessions can be spent on anything useful to the Co-op Cloud Federation; some examples could be:
+
+- Co-working, e.g.:
+  - abra development
+  - recipe maintenance
+  - documentation
+  - funding applications
+  - writing resolutions
+  - developing posts for social media, or the website blog
+  - federation admin (membership, finance)
+  - infrastructure maintenance
+- Welcoming new members of the co-op cloud community
+- Supporting community members with technical issues
+- Holding informal discussions / polls about any aspect of co-op cloud

+
+## Questions
+
+3wc: Should this be open to anyone in the community, or just federation members? If it's completely open, are there are any expectations / criteria, or could someone literally get paid to come listen in every week?
+KP: I think we just monitor that and if there's any problematic behaviour, we may need to change course.
