# makerFLOSS Working Norms (v0.1)
We aim to experiment, learn together and have fun. MakerFLOSS is not the same as the Orange Makers IT setup - but we try to help out where we can.

- A playground for learning about self-hosted infrastructure
- Federated — members can also use matrix.org or their personal servers
**Resources needed:**

- A VPS (we already have one at `88.99.32.236`)
- ~500 MB RAM for Conduit (lighter than Synapse)
- A subdomain + TLS (Traefik already handles this)
## Matrix Bridges — Stay Connected During the Transition
A bridge connects Matrix to another network — messages flow both ways.
```
[WhatsApp contact] ←──── WhatsApp servers ────▶ [mautrix-whatsapp bridge] ←──── Matrix ────▶ [You]
```
**You keep your existing accounts. Your contacts don't need to switch.**
| Bridge | Network | Notes |
| ----------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| `mautrix-whatsapp` | WhatsApp | Puppeting — uses your real WA account |
| `mautrix-telegram` | Telegram | Puppeting — very stable |
| `mautrix-signal` | Signal | Fragile — Signal actively breaks 3rd-party |
| `matrix-appservice-irc` | IRC | Mature, widely used |
| `heisenbridge` | IRC | Simpler alternative |
**The pitch:** Use Matrix as your single inbox — WhatsApp, Telegram, IRC all in one place.
**The catch:** Puppeting bridges need server access to your account credentials. WhatsApp's ToS prohibits it — occasional bans occur.

## Participation — Let's Talk
**Round 1: Your current situation** _(2 min, pairs)_
- What messenger do you use most, and why?
- Is there anything about it that bothers you?
**Round 2: Barriers** _(group discussion)_
- What's the hardest part of switching or convincing others to switch?
- "But all my friends are on WhatsApp" — how do you handle it?

## Summary
- **Signal**: easiest switch, best UX, E2EE by default — but centralized and requires a phone number
- **Matrix**: most aligned with FLOSS values, self-hostable, federated — but more complex
- **XMPP**: the old guard, still solid for the technically inclined
- **Briar**: for extreme scenarios — no infrastructure needed
**The best alternative is the one people will actually use.**
