I'm really turned off by "grassroots groups" that constantly ask me to donate as the only way to support x cause. #nonprofitindustrialcomplex

Just applied for the co-op developer position. Wish me luck!

This is very difficult to search for, so I'll ask here... Has anyone seen plans for an on-demand book printer (not a 3D printer)?

I'm hoping Bryan Conlon will be joining us here on social.coop, as you'll have lots to talk about. Bryan is a union organizer in North Carolina with an interest in cooperatives. He has developed a compelling strategy for building a material basis for sustainable working-class struggle rooted in the union cooperative model, called the "commonwealth network":

Almost ready to apply for the co-op developer position. The other applicant (that I know of) and I have agreed to use each other as references.

@StephR, I'm available to chat about the SJC any time. I'm underemployed and have a pretty flexible schedule.

Very social and cooperative day so far! Had a meeting with our co-op's bookkeeper, from the bookkeepers' co-op, then saw @StephR in passing, then had lunch with @jjg !

I'm excited to start learning about Mastodon and social.coop. It feels like it might be a really nice link with the work I'm doing with Mutual Aid Networks (http://mutualaidnetwork.org). I'm looking forward to getting to know you more!

Sooo... a co-op developer job was just announced locally. Giving it serious thought.

They’re redesigning Homestar Runner to work in a post-Adobe-Flash world. This is the best news of the year. http://homestarrunner.com

I signed my co-op up for @mayfirst this morning! Another step towards building the solidarity economy.

Thinking more about licenses (as I do a lot). Going back and forth between the PPL and CC-BY-SA.

"More U.S. Businesses are Becoming #WorkerCoops: Here’s Why" in #FastCompany:

"And with millions of baby boomer-owned businesses set to change hands in the upcoming decades, this transition could be an opportunity to create more democratic workplaces across the country–if business owners, workers, and advocates can work together to convert these enterprises into #EmployeeOwned #cooperatives."

I was nervous to use a jackhammer for the first time. Turns out, running a jackhammer is a walk in the park compared to hauling concrete.
