#Socialcoop friends, we in the Finance Working Group invite you to join us in working together on a cohesive budget for the co-op! https://www.loomio.com/d/liwtX0qd/toward-an-annual-budget
@ntnsndr I'm struggling to get into (i.e. understand ) #socialcoop governance. Not that I have tried very hard... I haven't seen an opportunity where it's clearly useful for me to dig in.
I could really use more stories.
Is there a good presentation (video recording) of the organization as a whole?
Is the origin story written down? The story of why the org was created and why it's growing.
@ntnsndr
Are there formative events boiled down to story form? The "should we federate with Facebook's thing?" is the only one that comes to mind.
@ntnsndr and while I saw lots of little pieces of the decision happen, I don't know the overall story arc.
I don't even know what the decision was, where it's recorded, nor the governance structure through which it emerged.
The analog of the "I'm just a bill..." song but not for U.S. legislation but for #socialcoop decisions.
@dckc yeah, check out these resources:

https://wiki.social.coop/wiki/Make_a_proposal
Do those help at all?
@ntnsndr yes... let's see... origin story: check:
> Social.coop was founded in 2017 in the wake of the BuyTwitter campaign.
I think I learned that at some point but forgot.
@ntnsndr What does TKTK DATE mean? that the wiki page has the text of the agreement but the executed agreement is elsewhere?
> Ratified TKTK DATE in solidarity,
>
> Platform 6 Co-operative, Ltd.
>
> Social.coop
@ntnsndr I think part of my struggle was a vaguely negative impression of loomio.
I think I ran into "access denied" many times... I think because I had let something lapse.
Anyway... that seems sorted now.
The daily email digests are pretty overwhelming, though.
@ntnsndr Is there a way to participate *in between* just being a user of the hosted fediverse server and reading every message on loomio?
Any recommended way to get up to speed on current events?
I was kinda impressed when I learned that Maker DAO puts explicit resources into outreach to its voters.
@ntnsndr does social.coop have any regular rhythms? Weekly / monthly get-togethers?
I see a diagram with a future section with office hours and quarterly meetings. Is that future here at all yet?
@dckc working groups set their own rhythms! The FWG meets quarterly
