Plaintext Group concept note July 2022

The call happened at https://meet.jit.si/OppositeInteriorsAidWeirdly It was very useful and I was told that forge federation won’t be a good fit because their focus will be, this year, to convey the importance of Free Software to US policy makers. And to provide significant funding (over a million USD) to OTF so they can redistribute it to smaller projects.
