So, who is in the Free/Open Source software community in Brazil, advising the government on how to move to the Fediverse? And how can I help you?

BrianKrebs reshared this.

I am somehow surprised that the actual Brazilian government still doesn't have an instance of some software compatible with activity pub.

Before leaving Brazil, I was part of a group engaged in open government data and civic hacking. I really hope these groups are still strong as they were a few years ago!

By the way, in 2011, I was advocating the City Council of São Paulo to have an identi.ca server, instead of Twitter. This didn't work, but at least I could open up some government data.

@gunchleoc I'm a bit out of the loop of the open source gov side of things in Brazil, there used to be (a long time ago) a gov.br instance, but it was for a specific branch and a small one at that. It has since ceased to exist and I haven't heard much since then

Hi, we are a part of the Brazilian government [museums] experimenting with the Fediverse. We've started a conversation with @robin on possibilites, and I will be showing it to friends from other agencies. The idea is to bring good info to people in position to decide, and maybe you'd like to add to the conversation.

@chewie @josemurilo @uira Hello! I am part of Alquimídia (@rede), an association that promotes Fediverse in Brazil, which launched a campaign with this objective: https://fedigov.org.br/#FediGov

@chewie @josemurilo @uira @rede This is our dream! We have a project developed based on governance models similar to those of a public broadcaster. But we are trying to get governments to at least use federated networks for their institutional communications. Which is already a lot of work.

We are preparing an instance to be used by museums, not yet open for citizens. Hopefully, it soon will be.

@skarnio @chewie @josemurilo @uira @rede I'm alongside @josir at IBICT/MCTI, they have a instance of peertube (videoteca.ibict.br) and we're working on their mastodon instance too.

It may help to show them examples from other governments:

Germany: https://social.bund.de/about
Switzerland: https://social.admin.ch/about
The Netherlands: https://social.overheid.nl/about
and the European Union: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/explore

that have set up their own instance and have given a combined hundreds of departments, agencies and bodies their own accounts on these instances.
