Did you know that we have a solidarity series, telling the stories of other cooperatives to education about the power of the cooperative model? If you are interested in having your co-op featured with a blog/post exchange, please reach out to us. email hi [at] artisans [dot] coop for more details.

Continued thread

Pour créer « un média social européen à but non lucratif qui ne repose pas sur les dispositifs permettant d’exposer nos esprits à la guerre cognitive », cela passe par le transfert technologique de la recherche publique vers des structures de l'#ESS telles que des #coopératives (#SCIC, #SCOP), des mutuelles, des associations.

Alors pour éditer needle.social, nous avons décidé de transformer Profluens.com en Société coopérative d'intérêt collectif (SCIC) et de publier le code sous licence #opensource.

Si la démarche vous intéresse, faites-nous signe.

Nous manquons d'expérience en entrepreneuriat à impact et en animation de communauté open source.

#introduction Hello. Mes passions devenues travail sont : l'économie sociale, les #coopératives en particulier, les logiciels libres et #OpenSource. J'ai de grandes ambitions et pas assez de temps sur terre : transformer la fiscalité pour la rendre vraiment redistributive, abattre le capitalisme et les dominations, idéalement ça mènerait à une planète habitable pour tous les vivants. Et une vie sans extravagance n'en vaut pas la peine : filez -moi les adresses de bons resto gastronomiques!

Legally Canada could expropriate the assets of foreign-owned Canadian media.

Also, why not even pay them the fair price for what they're worth, which is a deal because they've been bleeding them for years.

How? Remember Canada Savings Bonds?

I'd buy a Canadian Media Bond/share.

In a hot second. Also, look up BCRIC shares; I still have mine:

Friends who are interested in #cooperatives, #commons, and #solidarityeconomy, please make a donation to GEO.coop. I found GEO when I was first learning about solidarity economy, submitted an article or two, and ended up joining the collective. A look at the website shows what a unique independent resource GEO is, covering organizing efforts around the world, sharing the work of leading theorist-practitioners like Jessica Gordon-Nembhard and @luisrazeto . :TwinPines:

Turning off a memory today; we shut down the server a few hours ago as part of saying farewell to the Tau Ceti co-operative, which provided affordable web-hosting and email to hundreds of punters for twenty-something years. We hosted various famous and not-so-famous sites through those years, and moved our server through various Melbourne data centres - sometimes at almost no notice! I made some fabulous friends through helping out, but I can’t deny my shoulders feel a little lighter now that it’s over.

My lessons from this experience are these:

- there’ll be no shortage of people with opinions about what you should do, but look for the ones who’ll pitch in to help
- it’s ok for responsibilities to shift over time - indeed, it’s better if they do
- you don’t have to serve everyone - sometimes it’s far more helpful to help people move on if they’ve outgrown your co-op’s mission
