Hi Shawn,
I think this email is better addressed to Heroes rather than only hellcp. I added the list to CC.
Best,

So Maurizio asked me to send this email, more as a conversation opener than
anything else.
What are the chances of finding some resources within the openSUSE Server
infrastructure for running @opensuse.org instances of things like Mastodon or
kbin, or whatever other federated services, for openSUSE members?
It's not strictly necessary, but the vanity aspect of having "official"
instances and an @opensuse.org identity is kind of nice, much like the Matrix
Homeserver, the E-mail aliases, or the hostmasks on libera.net.
If it's a matter of somebody being willing to actually admin the things, I
personally don't have an issue doing the setup and being one of the folks,
I've already got experience setting up synapse, mastodon (and soon kbin)
through containers.
I haven't a clue how many actual openSUSE members there are, or how many would
use them, but I think auth could all be tied back into the openSUSE SSO, and
the individual services aren't that onerous, for Mastodon or kbin (just as
examples) when you're talking sub-1000 user instances.
