Actions from last call

https://wiki.coops.tech/wiki/Circle_Call_2021-02-24

  • CoTech video: Simon from Blake House is coordinating with Geoff from Animorph; they are planning to open a room at the gathering where people can come to explore ideas and vision of CoTech. Place to flesh out different ways of articulating views; intelligence gathering excercise.
  • Invoices for Fund 2021 have not been sent out yet. Webarchitects will invoice CoTech then, proabably better before June.
  • Chris L to look at using Open Collective to see if it would reduce the work managing the fund - don't know?
  • Summer face to face gathering organised by Agile in Oxford? Chris can raise with Aaron. -> It would be good to discuss at the upcoming online gathering, there will be a session lead by Sion (Principle Six). Gathering hasn't been confirmed yet, contract being finalised.

CoTech member updates

  • Chris C emailed 8 co-ops who are missing from our website but only 2 replied so far. Will see who will be up for editing the website at the gathering next week.
  • There are also some co-ops that left (e.g. Greennet has not transitioned into a co-op structure) or might not exist anymore (E-commerce and GlowBox?)

    • Simon wants to have a lair in workadventure with a surprise character.
  • Want to have a more involved game session on Friday, have a lead that Abi and Matt are gameheads, so going to follow that up. Any other gamer geek names appreciated.
  • General Silliness throughout, prizes for best background etc. Weird sensuous rituals about velcro and smelling cinnamon.

Actions:

AOB

  • The Discourse forum mailing list mode has bee re-enabled
  • Aaron discovered something in his wandering around the internet!
    • Nostos: https://www.nostos.network/
    • Sounds familiar to what we are doing, Aaron will speak to them next week to see what they are up to - is there something we can learn from them? And perhaps how our website could communicate clearly what we offer?
    • Perhaps we could redo our website, something to consider at the upcoming gathering.
