Alright, the next #SocialCoop #Tootup has been scheduled for this Thursday (5/18) at 9amET!
I'll be specifically hoping to discuss the final approach of the #BuyTwitter campaign and the continued progress of the Social.Coop #instance, and all #coops shop talk is encouraged!

@NOiDEa unfortunately, the deadline to buy a share to vote this round was March 29th -governed. I used #Loyal3, but the recently exited to a more conventional broker. :/ Best way to support @ this stage of the game is to sign the petition at https://buytwitter.org and signal booster conversations on the #buytwitter and #wearetwitter hashtags on #birdsite... #twitter
@mattcropp ah cheers - I have just signed the #buytwitter https://www.buytwitter.org/ petition without being a shareholder (I stopped short last time as there is a box to tick for 'I am a Twitter shareholder' which I just assumed had to be ticked)
@mattcropp @NOiDEa I just signed as well. I agree the form is confusing - might I suggest simply adding another checkbox for "I am a Twitter user", checked by default? That can subtly diffuse the confusion.
@mattcropp Heya, two pieces of feedback/? -- How did you select the possible time options for the tootups? Most are during the commute to or start of the US business day, which strikes me as odd. 2ndly, can we leave these open for more than 2 days in the future (particularly if it is announced over the weekend)? Thanks for all your work! Trying to figure out how to better plugin myself and others to the organizing without having to take on admin stuff.
@mattcropp Ok, now I'm confused tho, lol...as I move through all the notifications. Did you call the timing for a 6am one or start a new scheduler? I am not. here. for the Loomio notification feed - the color/formatting make it hard for me to parse out individual items on the timeline and how activity is or isn't related. So, my above comment about the timing windows might be moot, but the general questions re: how we're selecting times still stand! :)
@emily Good points, Emily. In this case, the times were literally the free spots in my schedule this week (on final approach for my day job's big annual conference), and the short timing window was based on the time sensitivity (#buytwitter vote's Monday). For future rounds, perhaps a 3-5 day voting window would be ideal? As to timing, given that we have interested folks in very diverse time-zones, I think it might make sense for rotating #tootup "hosts" to base the polls on their availability?
Do you have a recommendation of how to buy a share in Twitter easily? Some web based broker perhaps @mattcropp ?
