Discussion
This morning in #Amiko, the community #RailsFork:
1. 138 people now in the Matrix space at https://matrix.to/#/#amiko:matrix.org
2. We've had success in running some **major** #Rails apps on experimental forked versions of both `rails` and `railties`, and at running our equivalent of `rails new`.
3. We're building community governance using Sociocracy: https://sociocracy30.org/
4. Work progresses on website, brand, and determining a non-placeholder name
This *is* happening, and we need YOU!
@bcantrill explained how software is reflection of values with some examples:

What is your fork about? What values are different to the original one?
@saper I will watch it in full later, but from a quick skim that seems to mostly focus on technical values; which is fair, but not our focus. The values we hope to reflect are around inclusion, good governance, and not tolerating those who would exclude people based on who they are.

@Floppy Does the name come from the word for "friend" in Esperanto?

@pauljrobinson design, comms, community management, governance. Loads. A LOT of the work is be non-development.
@Floppy A suggestion for a Big Project to aim for would be the OpenStreetMap server stack. Very complex, millions of users, no other way off Rails...
@jonobennett oh yes, they’re on the list :)
