Ben Roberts Wed 9 Sep 2015 4:09PMPublicSeen by 15Ben Roberts, lead convener of Co-opathon2015, is proposing to launch a "crowd-resourcing campaign" on Monday, September 14, as the next phase of the Co-opathon gathering. Prior to that date, he requests that those who wish to weigh in on his proposal do so using this Loomio group, via the following process (adapted from sociocracy/holacracy):
- Ask clarifying questions via the other open discussion thread in this Loomio group (ideally by end of day Thursday)
- Offer responses via this thread, including suggestions for improvements, and any concerns you have about whether or not this is "safe enough to try" (ideally by midday Friday)
- Discuss and vote on a modified version of this proposal that Ben will offer in response to 1 and 2 above, to be posted by end of day Friday, with voting closing by end of day Sunday)

If we keep pushing this experiment, we keep learning.

I feel like mentioning that "a PROMISE to" part somehow scares me. My feeling is not "not willing to promise participation" (as I am willing to participate) and definitely not "I am happy with the group to decide without me" -- so I vote for Agree!

I can definitely offer time/services, a little bit of money for the energy because I don't have much, can support social media/Thunderclap and make some requests.

Sounds like a good start in the right direction.

Sounds like a good start in the right direction. The very least of how I can help out is offering time/services and spreading the word.

Thanks Ben for all of this. I don't have particular suggestions and just feel why not give it a try… I find dana.io quite interesting; so in that sense as well, why not try out… I also noticed "Dana.io Sponsored Projects", which would be an interesting potential we can keep in mind...
