#1 - Radical Transparency
Hey @fortyfoxes, glad to see you jumping in this conversation 
Just to clarify, I do see various possiblities of cooperation between unMonastery and Viral Academy. In general I see unMonastery just as a generic platform to provide living/working environment for people to enable them(us) to work on all kind of more sepecific projects!
At the same time I find it quite crucial to put some values, which I hope we share, into practice. One very fundamental to me relates to Radical Transparency, which I see needed to enable holopticism :)
Here my first request to you and Viral Academy crew: Please publish all the financial details of your project as Open Data, and put in place way to track them publicaly. If you would like to use any of those VA specific finances to extend operations of basic unMonastery:Matera infrastructure, please also create clear proposal using public space for discussing it. Here again I would suggest unMonastery@Loomio (BTW they just meet their crowdfunding goal and will invest >$100k in improving open source codebase!!!) I can imagine inviting them to sponsor residency of 1-2 people who would code on Loomio from Matera and make it fit local needs… possibly also mixing it with local Code for All brigade… Sorry for mixing subjects, I just try to bring to everyone’s attention that we can come up with many complementary ways to continue our work in Matera, and we need to make sure that we use decent framework to work with all those various possibilities (proposals) all together with maximum clarity!
