yeah, we're actually trying to find out if the whole thing is legitimate.

The source seems to be this german article

I can try to request information from the author

I have better idea - can someone with an official XSF address ask her? and also say that they are official member?

emw@heise.de

I don't think anyone has official xsf addresses?

That's not a service that the xsf offers (could be a cool thing to members, but definitely not enough resources)

@pep. some hosted-solution? cost-wise that shouldn’t amount to much and management could be done manually (with current turnover of incoming/outgouing members)?

Wojtek, that could be an option. I wouldn't use any gmail hosted account though for example (and it's the most obvious I can think of).

I guess I'm not the only one who likes self-hosting in this community :) ✏

Ok, then I do it

@pep. I rather had in mind mailbox.com from germany :-) seems quite privacy oriented but paid (quite inexpensive0

self-hosting is cool and all, but given resource-constraints (and I assume this would be more man-power than money) it could be problematic

tbh, I'd rather use the money to have the XSF pay for people to handle this kind of things (regarding the article) for us. People who know, and in time, not 3 months after the fact

Yes, that would be great. but is there a donation possibility/+?

?

The XSF has money, it's just not being used.

😂

(it's not like there's plenty of money either, but enough to start with)

it should be invested instead of not I think
