A thread to post information about similar projects, ancillary to what we are doing and from which we might learn. Obviously, exactly what we are actually doing is still fluid, but hopefully will become clearer.

I know that Nathan schneider is involved in the https://start.coop project in North America, and will also be at the event in London. There may be others, including Unfound people (I assume that project will be planning/considering a repeat exercise?). Maybe we should try to organise an informal gathering?

I've sent a message to Nathan. I'm also in email dialogue with Greg Brodsky from start.coop so I'll mention it to him. Who's coming from Australia? Anthony McMullen?
Graham Thu 5 Jul 2018 9:32AM
Oh, no I see you've named Andrew Ward. Doh!

Nathan has responded positively to the idea of a meet up with us and incubator.coop.
I've also been in touch with Alanna Irving (Loomio co-founder, Enspiralist) now part of Open Collective. I was talking to her about 'Cooperation as a Service' perhaps as a development for Open Collective, perhaps in collaboration with Platform6, start.coop, incubator.coop. She is keen, and has also been having similar conversations with Nathan. Convergence is happening! She sent me this link to a doc by Nathan. Look familiar?

I've asked if anyone from Open Collective will be at the conference.

I can't get the Sandstorm doc to load - do I need to create an account first?
Graham Sun 8 Jul 2018 1:09PM
It's working for me without doing anything. Takes a few seconds to load, mind you.

I've also just joined the P2P Foundation Wiki which is a crowdsourced collection of resources around Per to Peer (P2P) collaboration. A Platform 6 wiki is one of the ways that we could crowdsource the definitive collection of co-operative development resources.

Happy to set up a wiki, or perhaps a wiki-ish area within the p6 website. Tell me a bit more about how you see it being used?

I've been contacted by Andrew Ward of Incubator Co-op who look to be doing something similar in Australia. Andrew will be at Open 2018.
