Hi Everyone,

Fractals Coop have applied to join CoTech! Member Oliver Bates describes their ethos below.

"Fractals co-op is focused on working with communities to make radical social change and build new worlds. We don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions. Instead we co-produce with communities, remixing, learning and adapting as we go. We only develop new tech and digital services when they’re really needed. We are tech developers, researchers, service designers, storytellers, graphic designers, games designers and facilitators who are interested in future visioning, critical design and policy change."

- Oliver Bates, fractals Coop

New applications to join CoTech are a member vote as per the constitution so I'll start a vote on this thread.

You can view their articles of association in the attached PDF.

Please see the start of this thread for details on fractals coop. They'd like to join CoTech. This is a member vote so one-coop one-vote please. It will pass in 7 days if there are no disagree/block votes, but please take time to vote to agree as well as it's nice to give new co-ops a full-throated welcome!

They are in the right space - a lot of social change companies can't afford market rates, maybe coop rates would be more palatable. Looks a good initiative and we are happy to support
