Hi all,
It is obvious that quite a few people downloaded the list of Fellows when FSFE was making it available to all Fellows through mailman. We've also seen a recent trend in some projects to push people into using Discourse forums instead of mailing lists, all private messages between members are forced to go through a central server where they can be monitored or undermined. Many people feel that if you are going to invest time participating in an online community then it is important to know who you interact with and have ways to communicate with other members directly. You take a big risk participating in any forum/bulletin-board, if the project is forked, the server crashes or there is an outbreak of censorship, you lose all your contacts on that platform. In Debian, we have the Debian keyring and I feel that it might be a good idea to put all the Fellowship email addresses on a single keyring too. Then any member can use the keyring to communicate with any other member or the entire Fellowship. I feel this will make the Fellowship more equal. I propose to publish the keyring in IPFS later this week but if anybody wants to make any alternative suggestions, please do so.
