Who are we? Say hello and introduce yourself

Hi @mlncn! I was not aware of either of these projects. Puruance seems especially interesting. We had a considered a "task management" direction of one of our tools but laid it aside for the moment. I am sure there are many lessons that can be learnt here. I am especially impressed with the end to end encryption of it. We obviously have security as an important task, but we are at the moment considering the UX and onboarding journeys first - the move from passivity to activity.

Would be great to coordinate, so feel to drop me an email at [email protected]! Our work is very much user research led.

Hello Alex! Looks like there may be some overlap with the https://drutopia.org/ cooperative platform. We're already sharing user research with https://pursuanceproject.org/ and a couple other groups; it would be excellent to coordinate with Common Knowledge also.

Hi all. I'm Alex.

I am/was a collaborator at Outlandish where I worked for 18 months. I am starting up a new product based cooperative called Common Knowledge. @sionwhellens is helping out with advice via The Hive.

Looking forward to talking to you all some more.

Ok no rush from me, I can just do an annual contribution once you have a system sorted.

We use Trello for task tracking. Would be cool if there was a nice Loomio -> Trello integration eh...

Hi Richard, Welcome!
Yeah international payments is on our to do list, so I'll have a proper think about it as we have had quite a few North Americans want to join too. Incidentally what tool or intergration do you use at Loomio to shift decisions into actionable and tracked tasks?

Hi folks, I'm Richard, one of the cofounders of Loomio which is a worker co-op in New Zealand. We make this software that y'all are using!

Yesterday I was recording a presentation to be screened at a co-op conference in India next week. I included Solidfund as an example of how Loomio enables more participation in governance, and then I thought, hey, I should be a member! So very glad to be here, thanks for having me.

Now I just need someone to explain how I can contribute my monthly dues as an international member -- can I be invoiced?

Welcome, Philippa. I hope lots of people on this group will be able to help you with suggestions and offers of materials.

Hi, I’m Philippa and I’ve recently started as the project archivist for the HLF funded project ‘Working Together: recording and preserving the heritage of the workers’ co-operative movement’, based at the National Co-operative Archive in Manchester. I will outline this project in more detail on a discussion thread as I’m hoping to gain some input for the project from this group!
