EdSummers: Updated the process for May First admins

In November 2022 Social.coop became an organizational member of [https://mayfirst.coop May First Movement Technology] in order to take advantage of services such as shared calendars, Jitsi video, Nextcloud, and more. See this [https://www.loomio.com/p/Cr9mG76W/proposal-may-first-organizational-membership discussion on Loomio] for more details about the rationale for membership. The membership was enabled for a one year experimental period.

== Nextcloud ==

Social.coop’s May First membership includes access to the [https://share.mayfirst.org/ May First Nextcloud] server which provides a place for members to share files, calendars and more. In order to modify shared calendars and folders you will need to be a member of the [https://share.mayfirst.org/apps/contacts/circle/ca95M5J2a4wQ6FR5symutQnUTO9ypjs SocialCoop Nextcloud Circle].

# If you are a current May First Nextcloud user you should also be able to request to be added to the circle using [https://share.mayfirst.org/apps/contacts/circle/ca95M5J2a4wQ6FR5symutQnUTO9ypjs this link].
# If you aren’t a May First Nextcloud user then you will need to [https://share.mayfirst.org/apps/forms/yt3a5CBQico4bWfo request an account] which should trigger an email that is sent to the SocialCoop May First administrators who will add you.

== MayFirst Administrators ==

Administrators can log into the [https://members.mayfirst.org/cp/ May First Control Panel] using the email address <code>mayfirst@social.coop</code> and the password stored in [https://git.coop/social.coop/tech/pass pass] keystore. Once logged in different services can be enabled for social.coop members as needed.

In some cases it may be necessary to verify an email address is associated with a Mastodon user, in which case you should contact a member of the [[Tech Working Group]].

The following people have access to social.coop’s admin account and should be able to answer questions about using MayFirst services, and setting up accounts:

* Dan Phiffer - [https://social.coop/@diphiffer @dphiffer]
* Ed Summers - [https://social.coop/@edsu @edsu]
* Nathan Schneider - [https://social.coop/@ntnsndr/ @ntnsndr]

If you would like to help administer May First resources please get in touch with one of the current administrators.
