Okay I’m posting this here as a stub, taken from a document that @Marc sent me yesterday. Made some decent headway conceptually for unMonastery in-a-box in the past week, when there’s a moment I’ll post up an overview and time/date for the first remote working group. Also would like to do a hackathon at the end of June to put this all together.
