** posted from another thread to keep everything in one place **
We should collect all the nice coverage that we get in the press/on the web/from happy clients - might be a good way to get funding or win pitches in future.
We also seem to be one of the main stories from this years Co-ops UK report so it’s as good a time to start as any:
A growing wave of tech startups is boosting the UK co-op movement
Excellent plan - but I don’t seem to be able to close the other thread. I re-posted the message.
I have merged Polly’s post from today into your thread from last year:
And I have made you a moderator so you should be able to do things like this in the future using the spanner icon you should now see on threads.
Should we now remove this thread since the key posts are on the other one?
Who are these “young” digital workers? 
There is also a A Bookmark Thread that got started where links to media/articles on cooperatives could be posted … But that was not meant to be exclusively co-tech ?
June 2018 Sheffield local magazine article enthusing about co-operation, as against capitalism. Mention given to Webarchitects (disclaimer: it was written by a member of Webarchitects, me!)
We (specifically @chris and myself) are in the Times this morning: “The co-op movement is only beginning to see the potential of open source software to strengthen its values of democracy, equality and autonomy”. Courtesy of the excellent Hazel Sheffield who writes about the co-operative/social economy for various papers and magazines.
Good work both, I came across it in the paper this morning. Hazel S is doing a job for us!
Didn’t have you down as a Times reader Sion. More left wing that the Guardian these days I guess… Everyone should check out and support https://twitter.com/hazelsheffield / https://www.hazelsheffield.com/ - she’s doing a great job of reporting on actually-new things happening in the collaborative economy.
can someone with a Times account save it out as a PDF so we can all have a read?
Thanks
Oli
Following is a jpeg image of the paper version of the article, I don’t have a PDF:
A great piece. I’d be very interested to learn of any outcomes from this article.
I didn’t need to pay, just registered for an account and then had access.
+1 her http://farnearer.org/ project is awesome. Going to be meeting up with her soon to discuss collaborating on systematically spreading good stories about co-ops etc
This is off-topic, but um, not if you include articles like this (subtitle is “Trump, Putin, Erdogan and Duterte are unpalatable demagogues in many ways but at least they get things done”):
Outlandish were on Newsnight this week and @Kayleigh mentions CoTech in the clip, the section starts about 19:45 in (thanks @jdaviescoates for the time) and you can download it using get_iplayer:
get_iplayer --pid=m0004nxx
The dependencies I needed to install on Debian Stretch for get_iplayer:
apt install atomicparsley libmojolicious-perl libperlio-eol-perl \
libutf8-all-perl libxml-libxml-perl
LiVES (LiVES is a Video Editing System) appears to be the easiest to use video editor that is packaged by Debian, the clip I have edited out is from frame 59708 to 63781, the audio is somewhat out of sync, it has been uploaded to the wiki:
If anyone else would like to do a better edit I could upload the full episode (1.6G as a MP4) somewhere.
Thanks for this! Always bringing CoTech into the convo
