Seen by 193
We have known that our on-boarding process on social.coop needs a little TLC for some time- it can be daunting to navigate so many different sign ons all at once! Not to mention, Mastodon itself is a little confusing to figure out. With an exciting influx of new members, we thought we'd try to get the on-boarding party started with a Social.Coop 101 + Q&A. Noting that we're all scattered across many timezones, we'll record the session for those that can't attend and post it to this thread and open up discussion for any further follow up questions.
Here's a link of tips on how to navigate mastodon from someone on a different instance: https://axbom.com/mastodon-tips/
Here's a link to a recording of the first session: https://www.loomio.com/d/weg1CJB5/on-boarding-q-a-for-new-members-/49
This graphic is from a strategy session. There are some updates that need to be made on it but may help give an overview of how we operate and the many ponderings of possible future directions for the co-op!

Thanks - funny enough, that's where I wanted to add a comment but somehow failed. Anyway, great initiative!

I created a thread here: https://www.loomio.com/d/XQNj6HCb/cooperative-development-working-group about this. :D
There are lots of interesting opportunities to boot-strap ourselves, and, everyone else, to a decent standard of living, by using coops as a way of creating infrastructure. :D
There already exists models of how to develop hardware designs collaboratively and internationally, as is done by Sensorica: https://www.sensorica.co/ventures/food-and-agriculture/greens-for-good
:D

I would be happy to join a WG on cooperative development -- but would suggest to not limit ourselves to creating local coops - also cooperating with (other) transnational ones could be worthwhile, for instance

I'll try to join - I work a Black Friday shift at 9AM PST, so if I am there, I'm not sure for how long.

This is too early for me but I'm glad you're recording it. The main thing I'm interested in knowing is if there are ways to help support social.coop as a volunteer. :)

Other people have started to add comments, so it should be possible now. :D
