The Member Journey

From Digital Subject to Digital Steward.

Four levels. Each one earned, never bought. You move at your own pace. The physical card you take home from your first event tracks every milestone.

Level 01
The Exodus

The first event. Three hours. You walk in and walk out with a laptop you actually own. Made possible by people who donated machines so someone else could have a first one.

  1. 01Install Linux on a real machine.
  2. 02Replace one cloud account.
  3. 03Leave the room with a working laptop.
Level 02
The Catechism

The why behind the how. Stewardship, sovereignty, surveillance, and the long arc of how we got here.

  1. 01Learn to navigate the terminal.
  2. 02Understand what sudo means and when to use it.
  3. 03Install software without a mouse.
Level 03
The Homestead

You stop renting. You start owning. The Homestead is where the muscle memory becomes a way of life. Donated hardware from the TFM pool is available for members building their first home server.

  1. 01Stand up a home server.
  2. 02Self-host your photos and files.
  3. 03Cut your last consumer cloud account.
Level 04
The Great Commission

The student becomes the teacher. The mission continues because of you.

  2. 02Teach one full Catechism cycle.
