<p>happy new year everyone 😁</p>
<p>i think it's a good idea to try opencollective, i'm curious to
test it out. <br>
</p>
<p>& i apologise again for not being able to follow all the
other emails & not yet contributing to the etherpad for
systertown - everything's just been too busy & i still don't
have my work space set up properly so it's not easy to get
focussed work time ... things are piling up around me! i still do
intend to look at it ...</p>
<p>wishing you all a peaceful and productive 2023!</p>
<p>h : )<br>

Yes. If we are moving systerserver.town to mur.at then it
would be good to have this funds in Europe as it will be much
easier to transfer funds to pay for donations in mur.at. If we
keep it in digital ocean then it may be better to have the
funds in the US. But this is something to check. <br>

Here is the information about open collective that I got

<br>
To create an account (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/create-collective"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/create-collective</a>)
we will need to have individual accounts that manage the
collective page in opencollective.com. We need to make
a decision if to have a fiscal host (pay a fee but no
need for bank account) or go independent (no fee but
need a bank account). <br>
<br>
Two options: <br>
<br>
1. Independent collective: <br>
1. Unlimited access to all features <br>
2. No fees if we hold money in your own bank account
<br>
3. We would need to see how taxes work here. <br>
2. Through a fiscal host: <br>
1. Unlimited access to all features <br>
2. A fiscal host is an organization that welcomes
others to operate <br>
through their structure, so projects can use the
host’s legal <br>
entity and bank account instead of setting up
their own. The <br>
host provides administrative services, oversight,
and support <br>
3. Fees depend on who is the fiscal host. It could
be 10%, 5% or 0% <br>
4. Tax-exempt or charity status <br>
5. Options for fiscal hosts: <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://opencollective.com/search?isHost=true"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://opencollective.com/search?isHost=true</a>
<br>
1. Open Collective Europe hosts 363 collectives
(for example <br>
host lurk.org and mastodon.world) : <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://opencollective.com/europe"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://opencollective.com/europe</a>
<br>
2. Open Collective US hosts 3384 collectives
(mostly open <br>
source projects, for example mastodon): <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://opencollective.com/opensource"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://opencollective.com/opensource</a>
<br>
3. Fiscal hosts for mastodon projects <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://opencollective.com/search?q=mastodon"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://opencollective.com/search?q=mastodon</a>
. Some of this <br>
projects are on their own and some have other
fiscal hosts <br>
like Accountable <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://opencollective.com/the-social-change-nest"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://opencollective.com/the-social-change-nest</a>
<br>
<br>
To pay people: Money contributed to a Collective goes to
the bank account of the fiscal host. When someone wants
to be paid, they submit the expense through the
collective page in the open collective website. After
one of us approve it, the person is reimbursed via
PayPal. "Expenses are visible publicly, so everyone can
see how much money was spent and on what (though private
details like emails, names, and addresses are only
visible to that user and the admins)." <a
