Hi everyone, I'd like to make my #introduction!
I'm interested in exploring platform cooperatives as an alternative model for building things, interacting with people, and making change. I'm part of a network that recently (and somewhat unsucessfully) developed a "sharing economy" tool - I'm interested in learning how it might be done better.
Finally, I'm a techie, and I want to learn more about cooperative tools and help others to use them.

* Collaborative ownership of communications tools
* Open protocols to support decentralization efforts
* Cooperative effort governance models
Social.coop colleagues, takeaways on #open2020?
I only attended day two, but I found the discussions on governance and open protocols to be very interesting. I got a bunch of links on these, will share out as I explore.
@Matt_Noyes @emi @nicksellen I saw that y'all were going to Open 2020. I missed the first day, will be there for the second. Is there a crowd-notes doc, or other material you'd want to share out?
#pico8, normally a $15 purchase, is now included in this extraordinary racial justice charity bundle (proceeds go to NAACP LDF, Community Bail Fund):

Amazing to see so many indie developers coming together to raise quite a significant amount of money in small donations; it'll easily reach its $5M goal.
Is #coopify dead?
