Software Developer into co-operatives and community software projects. Work on/with/for https://karrot.world / https://foodsharing.de / https://outlandish.com/
Can someone recommend an approach to make a simple/lightweight/unincorporated co-op to turn our hosted foodsaving software (https://karrot.world/) into something like a platform co-op?
At the moment we administrate the server/instance without any clear structure... would like something more like social.coop.
A short constitution + a loomio group?
At least when one company screws up, capitalism ensures that customers can just switch to a competing service... oh, hang on...
Trying to survive London for a week without getting stressed, despairing, or depressed :)
Being at Outlandish HQ is nice though, interesting people to talk with from here, Space4 below, others passing through. A beacon of hope. Or something like that.
I spent a month cycling this across Europe - powered about 90% from free/saved food, and £9 in accomodation costs https://social.coop/media/-9kQvutQoygkUBkWm28
... and a really crappy photo of the whole solar setup:
- 20w panel from photonic universe
- Genasun GV-5 MPPT charge controller
- What's up power meter
- Deben Tracer LiPo 14Ah 12v battery
- RAVPower twin 5v USB adapter (and USB tester on the end)
- buck/boost DC-DC converter (set to 20v)
- ThinkPad power tip
swapped my big solar panel with a much smaller panel for increased output (big panel is a bit broken now, small panel is also much more efficient)

Most exciting Intellij IDEA fix in 2018.1 update - double shift cursor focus! https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-124160 - I am so excited by this. Maybe irrationally so.😍
ah hey @catonano - from hacker retreat in Berlin a few years ago right?
hey :) I came here via https://www.loomio.org/d/r1KuYn6q/foss-cooperatives-a-white-paper via @douginamug.
I currently exist in two worlds: co-operative digital agencies in the UK (working with Outlandish, and maybe others in the future) and open-source community platforms (https://karrot.world/, https://foodsharing.de (not yet open source), and https://trustroots.org).
My dream = co-operative + remote + open source + community + platforms + "sharing" lifestyle.
Or, maybe just bike touring forever instead ;)
