Hi folks,

@coopcloud community members made a new Matrix channel for folks looking to start new tech co-ops. Soon to be a Matrix space.

Feel free to come say hi:
https://matrix.to/#/%23techcoop:autonomic.zone

Autonomic gets a lot of people asking if we need new members. We're going to direct them here now to see if they can find networks online to approach starting their own co-ops.

Barcelona friends! Can you provide somewhere to stay for me and my friend between the 8th and 30th of November? We're visiting on a research trip about housing and venue co-operatives.

Amics de Barcelona! Em podeu proporcionar un lloc on allotjar-me a mi i al meu amic entre el 8 i el 30 de novembre? Estem visitant en un viatge de recerca sobre cooperatives d'habitatge i llocs.

Un altre apunt interessant: la immensa majoria de #cooperatives fonamenten el seu avantatge competitiu a partir de la seva ubicació geogràfica per a construir #comunitat.

Valor, riquesa i governança romanen locals.

Per a competir amb les grans empreses, les cooperatives intercooperam. P.ex.: les cooperatives de crèdit.

Hi ha excepcions, però poden tenir els peus de fang: grans #coops centralitzades que es basen sobre uns determinats valors i un estil de vida.

Vos sona?

yeah so. Conjured Ink is working to become an actual co-op, and that involves funding. VC and other such investment money is out of the question. That means the main option is the support of folks like you who believe in the vision and the possibility of having a real alternative system for creatives.

I wonder if this is how jimmy wales feels when he puts those wikipedia things up on the site.

Anyway, we're all volunteers, but an organization still has bills to pay, and building things up does actually need money in order to make money to become self-sustaining. We have a lot in store!

Follow us over at @conjured_ink too!

#AvuiHeAprès que les #cooperatives, una vegada existeixen i creixen, condueixen les altres empreses del sector a reaccionar.

Si les cooperatives no existissin, els altres actuarien d'una altra forma més salvatge.

Com es pot valorar aquest benefici per a la societat?

Steering Committee of the Federated Video Co-op Initiative has published its Founding Framework—a working draft that defines our purpose, mission, vision, and values.

It lays the groundwork for a sustainable, community-owned alternative to corporate video platforms—one that empowers creators, respects audiences, and keeps the infrastructure of online video in the hands of the people who use it.
