Well there may not be a snow closure announcement despite crazy snow today, but at least the @CUBoulder website's top headline today is on our co-op conference last week! https://www.colorado.edu/
Today in the quiet co-op consensus: David Brooks talking up worker ownership for the gig economy. https://nyti.ms/2DaRdGA
So I guess this means now we're going to find practical, bipartisan, compromise solutions to all of our problems, right?
Don't miss this video on LGC Security, a Black-owned company growing fast thanks in part to being a vendor for @cpaCoop, a mission-driven DC-area purchasing group: https://www.cpa.coop/blog-1/2018/11/2/lgc-security-grows-like-wildfire-with-cpa-co-op

Cooperatives Europe is circulating a call for proposals (€26,000) for a "knowledge base" platform on co-op development. Any takers? https://coopseurope.coop/resources/news/call-proposals-development-cooperative-knowledge-base #platformcoop
The Ubuntu release cycle is starting to feel like a liturgical calendar for me. Here we go, back into the desert of non-LTS.

Hey, it's @cadwellsocialcoop and @ntnsndr on stage together at OPEN 2018!

Does anyone else have this problem of Snap apps never really working? Any idea why?
(Xubuntu 19.04)
This, for instance: https://raha.app/
Would #SocialCoop be a good community for people to test out new experimental projects? Like a blockchain basic income?

Loved this interview @ntnsndr! Shared it with our small #PlatformCooperativismJapan followers.
"Let's become artists of ownership, and get creative about what ownership can mean"... YES!
Fantastic article on NYC union housing co-ops in @inthesetimes: http://inthesetimes.com/features/unions-housing-crisis-labor-coop-apartments-new-york-homeless-rent-control.html A major omission I've been feeling in #EverythingforEveryone is the lack of sufficient attention to land and housing.

Thanks @pospigos for sharing @tonysheng's recommendation to stop saying "decentralization:" https://www.tonysheng.com/decentralized-definition Maybe, but I'm not sure.
a) the term is much older than @ethereum and is used in various contexts already.
b) Satoshi used it in the earliest public statements on BTC
One more off the bucket list: earlier today, I was on @cspan @booktv! https://www.c-span.org/video/?450966-10/discussion-middle-class&playEvent Already got an email from a viewer in Iowa.
