OceanEditors.com is an English language editing service for ESL (English as a Second Language) scholars.
OceanEditors is an #e2c enterprise (Exit 2 Community) which was founded as a democratic workplace and will exit as a full #workercoop
If you are an ESL academic struggling with your English manuscripts, we can help!
Want to help grow the #e2c #coop community? Help us connect with clients and partnering universities.
If you're involved in cooperatives, how can your cooperative(s) begin practicing reparations?
My goodness, Grace Lee Boggs' autobiography is free online this summer: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/living-for-change Some good feminist, antiracist #FathersDay reading!
Anyone use Evolution for mail/calendars? I maybe getting nudged into it from Thunderbird. Kinda like the idea of living in a GNOME project more than a Mozilla afterthought, but trying to decide whether it'll be worth getting used to its idiosyncracies.
Thanks to @wooster for a great walkthrough post on #SocialCoop and the #fediverse: https://spiegelmock.com/2020/05/28/decentralizing-social-media/

Some reading to do: http://www.easyessays.org/
Peter Maurin's "Easy Essays"
"When the organizers try
to organize the unorganized,
then the organizers
don’t organize themselves.
And when the organizers
don’t organize themselves,
nobody organizes himself,
And when nobody organizes himself,
nothing is organized."
Here is some fabulous evidence from @emi @cadwellsocialcoop @Matt_Noyes and friends that #Socialcoop is the amazingest nerdiest place on the Internet to be a cooperator: https://social.coop/@emi/104158200270235360

oceaneditors.com is an #E2C
"exit 2 community" startup. Our target is a #workercoop structure. Had a great conversation with @ntnsndr
on E2C, which fits our objectives quite well. If you're also interested in E2C please reach out! Follow, and I'll follow back.
You can read more about E2C here:

I'm thrilled to announce that we have now officially transferred our fiscal host on Open Collective to Platform6.coop. #socialcoop is now legally part of a cooperative! https://www.loomio.org/d/U7uvGdqF/should-social-coop-switch-its-open-collective-host-to-platform6-/62

Lots of great pieces have come out recently calling upon those of us in the free/open-source software to go further in making ethical tech.
* @ntnsndr on the culture war in open-source https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/the-culture-war-in-open-source-is-on
* @CoralineAda on **ethical** open-source software https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/a-six-month-retrospective-on-ethical-open-source
If something looks weird about our #SocialCoop budget on Open Collective right now, it's because we're currently transferring our Fiscal Host arrangement to Platform6.coop, which will make us officially, legally, a cooperative enterprise! https://opencollective.com/socialcoop#section-budget
@e_mydata Is there currently any way to get a preloaded phone in the US?

Thank you to the #jitsi folks who have created a platform for people to connect, and a strong alternative to proprietary platforms. You all rock.
