There is a coop jobs board thread today on the Technology worker cooperatives [email protected] email list about building a website specifically to list tech co-op jobs.

@harryrobbins I think I've said this before - but if you need help on any of those technologies we've got most in house - the one we don't know too well is React but we've just started a React project so that will change in the next month as we have two of our senior coders learning it furiously (while fixing someone else's shoddy attempt at doing it!)

@edrussell - yep - we'd like to take you up on that. The lovely guys at TableFlip are already helping out but apparently there are "only four of them" and they have "other stuff". Lazy bastards. Let's get you (and maybe another) down for a day to meet our tech and resourcing teams so we can work out what we can most easily package up.

@chriscroome are you aware of fellow hosting co-op http://mediablazehosts.coop/

Might be some opportunities for collaboration/specialisation.

Thanks, I hadn't come across them, would be interested to meet them, we are a bit stricter on the use of Free software -- we wouldn't use cPanel or Plesk as a matter of principal and we also try quite hard to be as green as possible -- for example our data centre electricity bills come from Good Energy.
