True
<#704438705947017327> should be a clearinghouse for intelligence products, and a point of contact for the broader Eskimo community
^
Do we have people here willing to work with and represent regions/areas of intelligence?
I’m in NC but I’m not as familiar with the region as a whole as I’m from the north, but I can advise on cyber matters.
I don't think we have enough people to justify having anything like bureaus. We need to lay the ground work first, that way we can vet and onboard people in proportion to our capacity and needs.
How we allocate domain authority should similarly be determined early on by the seed population of Intel volunteers.
If we do assign regions, we'd probably begin using FEMA/census style subdivisions
That would make sense
It’s more to divide up monitoring and reporting
Funnel information through a single point for aggregation and validation.
Definitely.
If we create another server we wouldn't have nearly as many people of course.
That'd be the goal. Have a core workgroup. Add/remove people as needed
^
The point of a second server would be to keep the core Intel population connected, and ensure some institutional memory.
As stated. I can advise on cyber/electronic warfare matters since that’s my area of employment
Also allow for flexible on-demand channel creation
We could make a custom role for the intel community and their own channel, to utilize some of the people already here.
Be a good start.
The page would remain for disseminating and general discussion for the rest of the community
Also let’s not forget the need to train members in local collection and reporting ISO national missions.
The former can be this channel. Until we have enough to slip into a separate server, we can discuss structure/organization on an Intel role channel.
Creating anything resembling a boojie Intel community ain't an overnight task.
Actual operations and Intel product may be a few weeks down the line
We need to be sustainable before we're actionable
Agreed
Just planting the seed and seeing if anyone else wants to join us in this endeavor
PMs are always welcome too
Trial channel <#706237510786744332> and role <@&706238245238997072> created. Only users with the <@&706238245238997072> or <@&704442383554838632> role will be able to read or send messages.
Role requesting/requirements?
It's still in the works, suggestions are welcomed here. I'll be back in a half hour or so.
Sounds good
Prospective Spooks may be vetted. No doxxing or raids will be tolerated. Requirements are a willingness to help gather intelligence and freedom from personal biases or affiliations that would cause you to be untrustworthy within this community.
Provided they meet the requirements, anyone can request this role in <#704856167318552647>.
Will be requesting to allow the PR team an insight into intel
I’d be willing to be part of that team.
Tread carefully as an information collecting group a lot of eyes will be on y'all
@Catman roger that
Here is a good starting point. If you look at the website and think that's too much reading then good luck. https://ssd.eff.org/
The EFF is a credible source
Don’t do it here.
