Buried in a thread about technical stuff relating to ActivityPub, @decentral1seasked:
Who wants to start the CoTech Propaganda Work Group?
Given there are amazing designers within the CoTech network, I think this is a great idea. Who’s interested in that working group?
(hope I’m not stepping on any toes here - I did see something in the thread about the next CoTech call, but just wanted to bring this to wider attention!)
Hello! We discussed this today in the June monthly call. We were very enthusiastic about it. The conclusion was that we would be best to organise a call for everyone who is interested in this group in principle, and figure out the first achievable objectives and how to approach them?
does Wednesday 14th July work for everyone ? I’ll open a poll below
In the June call we discussed:
The potential benefits of having a defined role for a network facilitator
The overlapping of interest between unions, co-operatives and software tools
the York Collective (a courier’s co-operative) which sprung out from the courier’s strikes against Deliveroo and Uber Eats. Coop Cycle which is a platform co-operative tool federating courier’s co-operatives
Wobbly, @KingMob 's communication tool designed for decentralised unions (inspired by the same wave of strikes)
the potential synergy between co-operatives supporting unions and unions founding co-operatives. October’s conference of union co-ops posted on the forum today by @chris
Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to make the 2pm call on Tuesday as I have a clash currently. Apologies for missing the poll. I’m still keen to be involved though and will join the next meeting.
