Team members from GetCourageNow attended grassroots movement focussed conferences in late February to present the platform to a variety of climate justice organisations, who were all excited to see the desperately needed software.

Plans to beta test for upcoming mass nonviolent civil resistance campaigns will continue as planned in June, supporting an online movement of civil engagement and organisation as a platform to have the people's voices heard despite the quarantine situation related to COVID-19.

The following technical advancements have been made:

• Highly available Kubernetes Cluster is now working for all Stateful Services and has had “kaos monkey” on it to try to make it fail. It passed.
• S3, GRPC PUB SUB is now working in HA mode. This allows the system to support very large numbers of concurrent users. Benchmarked to 500,000 concurrent users.
• Each organisation that has an existing user’s email can onboard them to the system. by sending out an email or facebook message.
• World map navigation of action locations.
• REDIS is now working in HA mode. 
• PAAS layer separated from the SAAS MicroServices layer. This allows easier deployment of new MicroServices, dedicated Kubernetes scheduling for Stateless (SAAS layer) and Stateful (PAAS layer) to maximise scaling flexibility.
• IAAS layer to allow Deployment to any servers and so not be reliant on the big 3 clouds (Google, Microsoft, AWS).
• Adding MultiParty Video Conferencing (in progress).
• Benchmarking of the PAAS Layer to higher levels (in progress).
• User, Roles and Permissions system integrated at PAAS cloud level to ensure high scalability (in progress).
