Thanks so much for making it happen dear people at Media Co-op :balloon: - such a great time!

Here’s the notes from our workshop session on CoTech Coordinator - given the positive response from those gathered in room on the second day, this will be soon transformed into a proposal for Loomio @polly @KingMob @chrislowis

PS. please edit the wiki notes if I missed or misinterpreted something!

Hi, thanks that’s great!
Claire from media co-op is going to edit some footage / i’vs we shot on Thurs afternoon - anything you have would be really great. Her address is: claire@mediaco-op.net. If you can include a note on what’s in each file, roughly, that would be great. Thank you!

Hey I’m a little late to the replies but thank you @Louise for an awesome event and thanks to @MelMcNab for the accommodation and thanks to @chris for the lift.
It honestly means a lot to me that you all helped me, it can be challenging and tough to get out to these events but I certainly will try my hardest to get to them, thanks again everyone :blush:

this is a very belated and very heartfelt THANK YOU to @Louise and everyone at Media Coop for organising such a fantastic gathering. No offence to anyone who’s organised past ones (includng myself) but I have to say I thought it was the best organised one yet. From the venue to the food to the agenda, everything was incredibly well considered - I didn’t managed to get to the Boss or Bossed sessions, but it was amazing to even have this as part of the schedule. Now tht I am in Scotland, I hope this is the beginning of a renaissance of scottish worker coops interacting and engaging with one another. :heart:

and big thanks to @MelMcNab and Code Operative for arrnaging accommodation and covering the costs for the rest of us. You didn’t have to do that, but I think it made it much easier for people like me (flying solo) to attend.

I want to echo what @aaron said - I’ve been on a little cloud of positivity and inspiration since coming back. Thanks so much to the Media crew who put in so much work to make it happen and everyone else for being awesome.

It was great to attend, a really great vibe and an incredibly warm welcome. I definitely got a boost from being together with everyone and hope to carry that sense of excitement and optimism back. Huge thanks to all for organising, hosting and participating. Can’t wait until we’re together again :slight_smile:

Hi folks - thanks to all of you including @chris @MelMcNab @hawkz @aaron @polly @liam @Eszter @SzczepanOfAnimorph for the positive feedback and for coming to Glasgow.

I hope we can host another event in Scotland sometime - it was brilliant having you all here.

Here’s a wee video Lucinda shot on her phone on Thursday afternoon at ‘Boss or Bossed?’ for the funders, edited by Claire and Jenni - feel free to share it on social media: Co-Tech: Boss or Bossed?

Here’s the embed code:

Have a brilliant Christmas and New Year and see you all in 2023.

Nicely done! Getting videos out is really good, what channels would that get circulated in?

Hi Steve
Thanks. We had to do something for the funder so we tried to make it relatively useful for ourselves to promote coops.
I’ve shared it with the workers.coop Comms and Mobilisation groups to use as they wish.
I also posted the link to Coop Dev Scotland and the Glasgow City Council team that look after coops and social enterprise here in the city.
We’ll post it on Fbk and Twitter for our own audiences.
But all suggestions welcome …
