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.

Social.coop members, participate in an important poll about tools on Loomio.
My "3 Takeways" Document from #open2020:

* 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?
Thanks to a friend, I'm finally experimenting with linux and open software on his old tablet. So far, it doesn't feel like an experiment because everything works the same and feels very very very easy to use...
Hmmm...
#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?
Hey social.coop folks, it was great meeting you today. Sorry I had to jump off the community-tech bridge call early. I look forward to talking and learning with you all more.
