Dear fellow co-operative technologists,
We ([Dandelion Collective](https://dandelion.coop/)) are delighted to join CoTech following our [approval on Loomio](https://www.loomio.org/d/8vV6Oobd/approve-dandelion-collective-s-application-to-join-cotech)!
A couple of things:
- A major project of ours is [dandelion.earth](https://dandelion.earth), a co-op platform for ticketed events and co-created gatherings. If you’re running events regularly using Eventbrite/TicketTailor/whatever other non-co-op platform, we’d love to hear from you and invite you to be one of the first organisations to start using it!
- On a personal note, I’m keen to gain experience working with other tech co-ops for up to half my week. I have 15 years experience as a developer (mainly Ruby) and also offer coaching, consulting and facilitation services. Previous clients include the New Economics Foundation, Greenpeace UK, [350.org](http://350.org), Possible, the Living Wage Foundation, Positive Money, 38 Degrees, the Labour Party and the Green Party. [Read more about my offerings here](https://stephenreid.net/), see my [CV here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/15f3FqkYTSraICnD8LbvS9BG8bVzJQq4r1_7Jg8asE54/edit#).
In solidarity,
Stephen

Welcome to both you and Dandelion Collective. Lovely to have another coop join the network, looking forward to meeting you at some point - maybe on the next CoTech monthly call on next Wednesday at 4pm? Check [CoTech Monthly Governance Call 29.07.2020 - #3 by polly](https://community.coops.tech/t/cotech-monthly-governance-call-29-07-2020/2210/3) for details…
Really good to know you’re looking to work with other coops. There is a fair bit of it about as myself (Agile Collective), @dajbelshaw (We are Open) and @Lucy (In Fact) are all working at Outlandish for the next few months, so maybe the start of more of this kind of thing.

Hi,
Had a look at your website, and it looks interesting.
There are a few events/workshops/hack-weekends/small-festivals that i know that may be interested in moving to a co-operative-based ticketing agency.
I’ll forward your details on to them. 😃

Hey @stephenreid welcome! I’ve been tasked with onboarding you to CoTech, so expect a sexy slideshow to come your way relatively soon 😉

Hi @stephenreid. Welcome to CoTech!
We ([Go Free Range](https://gofreerange.com)) use Ruby and Rails a lot and we’d love to catch up with you sometime. We’re a bit snowed under at the moment, but perhaps we can contact you when things are a bit quieter.
Cheers, James.
