Co-op Hackathon in October - updated info, + proposal deadline 20/9

Hello there :wave:

While we are hoping that CoTech winter gathering will go ahead, we are also looking forward to other opportunities to meet co-operators either in person or online. We recently sent a couple of ideas to Co-ops UK Hackathon:

The idea not mentioned on the website is a small web-app where people can post their stories of finding their way to a co-op, it’s called Journey.coop. We have a functional proof of concept (and the domain!) but would like to use the hackathon day to add some features and push it live so people can start sharing their journeys! The idea first came about when co-operators from Argentina were visiting various UK co-ops in 2019 (also attended the gathering in Sheffield). Hopefully people from international community will contribute code as well as their stories remotely. What about you CoTech people, have you got any time to join us on Friday 20th of September, be it in person or online?

We will be most likely hanging out on Patio’s Mattermost: chat.patio.coop if you fancy joining let us know!
