Update 1.0
Hello new friends! Thanks for joining us on this journey. It has been awhile since we provided a update and so we have a lot of exciting updates to share with you. These include:
- Development
- AI Model Hosting
- User Management System
- Updated User Interface
- Simple Button
Development
The next quarter we are focused on two things: fast value adds and stable production ready installation scripts. This means we are going to be adding new, already secure, and production ready applications to the Change Maker system and updating the current applications to be more stable and secure on installation.
Following the addtion of the fast value applications and a stable installation script, we will begin the process of integratting all the applications across the system. The original peices of Change Maker, like the tech running the repo, will also be updated to more stable and secure systems.
Fast Value
We have currently flagged the followng applications for integration into Change Maker:
- HiEvents is a event management software. They offer effortless event management for conferences, nightclubs, and everything in between.
- Mattermost is a full slack alternative. They offer full data sovereignty and security for your teams sensitive communications.
- BluSky is a federated social media platform. Using your existing Change Maker domain, you can host your own BluSky server for complete control over your social media presence.
- Budibase is a low-code app builder. It serves as a comprehensive alternative to Google Forms and Sites, enabling the creation of applications like Email Targeter.
- n8n is a low-code automation platform. As the leading automation software for technical teams, it may enable seamless automation across your entire Change Maker installation.
- Monica is a relationship-focused CRM system. It excels in politics by prioritizing genuine connections and offering clear visualization of households and community relationships.
- Answers is a team-oriented Q&A platform. It streamlines volunteer organization and helps teams quickly understand various campaign roles and responsibilities.
Production Ready Installation Scripts
General development is focused getting the current build-out to production ready with a one command install on most standard operating systems. This will include a new configuration script and a new start script with more detailed instructions on how to up Change Maker.
Timing
We suspect this round of development to take 3-4 months, depending on other workloads. If anyone is interested in helping out, please reach out to us at admin@bnkops.ca.
AI Model Hosting
We are also working to move all our systems of of Meta products; this includes this the models running Daisy AI.
We are also working on building our first server to host AI models so we can move our entire development stack to a secure and private environment.
User Management System
Right now we ask users to create access rules for the Change Maker network of apps using Cloudflare Zero Trust. As a alternative to this cloud system, we are going to be integrating Keycloak into the Change Maker system ASAP. This will allow for a more secure and robust user management system that is localized to the installation device and can be used across all Change Maker applications.
Updated User Interface
The system also now ships with a updated login page for the landing page, landing page, and introduces dark mode to the editor.
Simple Button
Simple Button is now available! You can find it under the Simple Button page on our manuals site. We are going to integrate the Simple Button into the Change Maker system to allow for easy campaign button integration.
