In one of my day jobs, I work for a UK county council. I asked the IT department if they would host a #Mastodon server.
Much to my delight and surprise, they replied with a very detailed response (basically, no expertise, no money, too many security checks and no staff).
Is there a group on Mastodon that helps support local governments get onto Mastodon?
Thanks :)
@natureworks Maybe @koen could help? They mostly do stuff in NL I believe, but they have experience with this sort of thing
@natureworks I'm aware of https://fedigov.eu but I don't know what they can offer beyond the info on the website...
@natureworks I'm working on getting my county to get on Mastodon. IT staff (one person :) is a bit worried about it, but I'm getting help from many people. If they join they'll be the first county in Poland on Mastodon.
