Still seems to be in its early stages? Thanks for the info, I'm keeping an eye on it đ
Like you say, it would suit having an account on here.
@samtoland Resonate seriously needs an official account on here, I think a lot of Mastodon users would be interest in the service.
Finally got around to choosing a #CRM to replace the elaborate spreadsheet that contains the last 15 years of my organization's contact history.
The transition is gonna be a lot of work, but I can already see how much better this will make our lives, and more effective our work, when it is done...
#socialcoop Okay I'm really confused. I set up a Loomio account and attempted to join the social.coop group. But I can't finish the Contribute step on OpenCollective. I don't get it. Halp
@Algot I'm opening a new instance, may become my main soon.
If you're going to try out Mastodon do a bit of research on which instance to choose. It's like picking which neighbourhood you want to live in.
The word âsweetâ can be traced back to the Old English âsweteâ, an adjective that meant, âpleasing to the senses, mind or feelingsâ. Its origins are Proto-Indo-European (â*swadâ, Sanskrit svÄdu) which makes the word over 5000 years old.
'Sweetâ was used as a noun to mean âbeloved oneâ from 1300, as something easily managed from the 19thC , âthe engine is more responsive and sweet than its predecessorâ, and as an intensive from the 20thC , âsweet nothingâ.

My current column up at Headstuff is about Chester Burge, a 1950s slumlord who was accused (and acquitted under dubious circumstances) of murdering his wife. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. https://www.headstuff.org/culture/history/terrible-people-from-history/chester-burge-slumlord-murder-suspect/
The origin of the word âplayâ is unknown- English adopted the word âpleienâ meaning to âdance, leap for joy, and rejoiceâ from Dutch in the later Middle Ages, which was adapted as âpleg(i)anâ, âto exercise, or frolicâ.
To âplayâ also adopted the meaning to amuse or divert, âand young and old com forth to play on a sunshine Holydayâ (c. 1638). A âplaymateâ was used to describe childrenâs friends from 1642. The sexual connotation was used from 1954.

Hi @SocialCoop! I'm a web developer at Pressbooks and I run a non-profit co-operative artist residency in rural Nova Scotia (https://greatislandarts.ca). Great to be here! #introduction

What kinds of development methods have successful tech worker #coops adopted?
I'm assuming these methods look more like variants on #agile than "waterfall", but I also expect they're different from variants from outside the coop movement (Scrum, etc).
If that's true, has there been any effort to compare experiences and come up with some takeaways from them (if not actually formalize a new method and give it a name)?
Fuck you, ErdoÄan, fuck you very much.
