October 2019 Social.coop Strategy Thread
In the most recent Community Working Group Operations Team call, we discussed moving a process forward to collect members' thoughts on the strategic direction of our co-op, with an eye towards a developing a plan to guide the co-op going forward. We'll be given a short (8 minutes) slot during the Platform Cooperativism conference in early November to discuss social.coop, so that gives us a good deadline for completing this work.
So, I'll be putting out a schedule poll for a 90 minute Zoom call this month that all members are invited to participate in, and we also welcome folks to share their thoughts and ideas in this thread!

could possibly, and would like to, but it's 7AM-8:30 where I am, and that's the block of time I have to get my son ready for 9AM preschool.

What's the timezone here? Is it local time for everyone?

The way the instance is run seems opaque to me (occasional user, involved in no other social media). Participating ('at large' member) in the ops team made me aware the active core of operational labour is small (& tenuous?). 'Steering' labour too. So I'm still unclear in what way social.coop can operate as a coop, in the sense that a food distribution coop or a producer coop might be; or even my commercial telephone consumer coop in the UK. But great conversations!

It should be local for everyone.
