Our cooperative voted to participate in the digital #ClimateStrike on September 20th.
We encourage fellow tech coops and shops to participate and stand in solidarity with students across the world walking out of school to demand #ClimateJustice.

just a reminder to everyone in these trying times
- coop /kuːp/ a chicken enclosure
- coup /kuː/ a government being overthrown
- co-op /ˈkoʊˌɒp/ a company owned and democratically run by the people it serves or employs
If you're on #Drupal 6 or 7 and want to upgrade to Drupal 8, we're hosting an in-person training at #BADCamp October 3rd in Berkeley

Great think piece from fellow tech coop COLET
Towards a Slow Tech Movement: Build for Tech Justice
"Both proprietary tech and fast food play on the same themes of speed and convenience."
"We’d like to believe that when the moment of crisis comes, a movement agitating for tech justice by way of open source, decentralization, inclusive communities of producers, and expanded access to tools will be at the ready."

Tearing hair out with trying to set checkboxes in better exposed filters to default checked in a form_alter… Any clues? #Drupal
We now have a #PeerTube instance - @agaric
These will mostly be videos of our presentations we give on topics like #FreeSoftware #DigitalCommons and #MediaJustice . As well as how-tos for #Drupal #Django #React etc.
Video of @FreeScholar LibrePlanet keynote is now up!
This talk is loaded with both terrifying examples of the creeping surveillance capitalism we live in and inspiring counter examples to get us free in this digital world.

¿Cómo funciona el https? How https works #autodefensadigital --> https://howhttps.works/ <---
We created a #Drupal module called Give, that allows site owners to create donation forms, and manage donations from within the site itself.
Here's a breakdown of how it works https://agaric.coop/blog/build-and-manage-online-donations-drupal-give-module

another thing i want to work on is creating an economic network inside the fediverse.
by this, i don’t mean something like bitcoin or some other method of value exchange, but instead solving a more fundamental problem.
the fediverse is largely comprised of people who have small businesses (like bespoke commissions, etsy stores, small companies, etc.), but we don’t have any way of discovering who can sell or provide what you’re looking for.
i want to try to find solutions to this problem — keeping $ flowing inside the fediverse, from participant to participant, helps indirectly to fund fediverse development: if there’s more $ flowing inside the fediverse, then there’s more opportunity for that $ to make it into the hands of the people building the network. also, keeping the $ inside the fediverse helps to more directly benefit fediverse participants in general. it’s a good situation for everyone.
keeping more of the $$$ inside the fediverse is a very early step toward building a self-reliant fediverse, which contributes to the eventual death of the nation-state.
