Well im starting to compile names for the seed servers for the UFoI and I'd be honored if either of you like to be a part... in the meantime if you are interested jump in on the conversation as we draft the bylaws and I start writing the webpage.
While there are certainly some parallels, its its own thing, from scratch. It has a core set of ethics, and in that sense is similar... but it also has, more importantly, a due process, and membership process, and a garuntee members inside the UFoI federate.
So it is very much a different beast in other ways..
