Aight so me and two other good folks are starting a tech workers' cooperative. We've got plenty of stuff against us.
None of us have worked in a workers' cooperative or other kind of democratic workplace before.
There are barely a handful workers' coops in Norway. The national umbrella org for coops in Norway is basically dead and doesn't care about workers' coops at all.
Our coop is geographically distributed evenly along Norway, which means our northernmost worker-member would have to drive 24 hours by car or 44 hours by public transport to reach our southernmost worker-member.

We've put in effort to reduce our weaknesses, and we've got things going for us too.
We've met and continue to meet with other workers' coops to learn from them and collaborate. We've got potential clients and pilot projects. We've got hardware. We've got tech and business know-how. We're working on the formal stuff, bylaws and agreements.

It's going great.

Just wanted to let y'all know it can be done.

If you want to do it too, I recommend joining https://matrix.to/#/%23techcoop:autonomic.zone

Our local @RadicalRoutes housing #cooperative has guests for January, who are then planning a move to #France.

They seek contact with cooperative networks or radical communities for local knowledge and mutual support.

DM with/for contract details.

@dmnelson Another option/model: I worked with a group of folks to set-up a non-profit housing co-op. We bought a house we knew we would all pay into and never own. I left after 5 years without a penny that I'd put in. The point was to build a low-cost community housing resource that others could enjoy and benefit from in the future.

Given the times we live in flexible, #cooperative, #communal ownership might be a great way to go for many people. I loved it.

I visited @canodrom this morning. I forgot to leave some stickers… Yet another reason for me to come back to Barcelona as soon as possible. Lovely people, super curious projects and approach, especially in the relationship with el barrio (neoghborhood).

It was interesting curious to learn that the whole Canodrom is manages by @colectic_coop, a cooperative that won the 4-years grant by the municipality of Barcelona. The vast majority of the funding is both public and local!
