Connecting with other people interested in Microsolidarity

Hey folks, there is a slowly growing list of 70+ really interesting people in this group. I feel there is a lot of potential sitting here, which could be activated at any moment!

I wanted to be explicit: I am not planning to lead a lot of community engagement, at least not yet. I am busy getting my business in order, doing R&D for microsolidarity, and publishing whatever I learn. When people approach me with interest in the topic, I direct them to this group.

My invitation to you all is: please feel free to self-organise! If you want to host discussions, have a virtual meetup, pair up to share research, find people to meet in your local area... all of that sounds good!

I just wanted to clarify that you shouldn't wait for me to initiate something here, and open the floor for anyone that has energy to animate the potential in this group 馃帳

I dig the moon-thly meme personally! We have a hub network booting up that will have an updates call every full 馃寱 (pattern established yesterday). If we do follow such a pattern it would be great to do it on new moon as we are finishing the previous months harmonisation and entering discovery mode again! :)

Historical note; the industrial revolution was kick-started by loosely coupled lunatics meeting moon-thly as well!

This sounds a bit meta... Meeting to discuss micro solidarity, not to practice microsolidarity. Likely that's far too oversimplified a thought. Anyways, I am interested in both a discussion on microsolidarity as a topic, as well as an exploration and experiment in the practice of it.

With limited capacity, yes. I'd make a monthly discussion but weekly would be too much overhead.

Looks like we have 12 interested people, which would be a nice size for a crew. Next I'll start a discussion about how we want to format the discussion, then we'll use the tools here to decide dates and time.

Discussion thread: https://www.loomio.org/d/sDcm4Tx7/online-discussion-group-what-could-it-be-

Would you be interested in joining a regular meeting online around the topic of #microsolidarity?

The format, frequency, and time can be figured out later (we have amazing tools here on loomio for that). Right now I want to gauge if you would participate in something. Should I put the effort into coordinating this?

You have 1 week to decide.
