Actions:

John: write the questionnaire for the taxonomy
Calum: update the onboarding presentation with the presentation
Polly: speak to Lucy from InFact about leads for Hubl
Calum, John, Szczepan: formulate a script for the onboarding + taxonomy from the notes below - working doc.

1. Polly - excited, back in space4, new friends up north
2. Alex - happy and relaxed, pained by bug reports, excited for August
3. Szczepan - great, slept not much, project finished and stakeholders of stakeholders happy
4. John - guilty and stressed about too much projects but excited about VR phone
5. Josef - (quorn) - good, tired from social media and small kids,
6. Calum - bit hyperactive, otherwise good

Hubl has team chat, job directory and profiles, getting works and invoicing, could be used to address skill sharing and passing jobs
Could also strengthen the connections between Factic and Happy Dev
Btw. Hubl website has a small typo - "Profit Directory" should probably be "Profile Directory"? Unless they are talking about the 'end goal'?

Need users from each co-op first, physically making their accounts. Explaining to them how to use the tool, and what we need out of them. Skills register and posting jobs on Hubl is the priority
Registering is not too difficult. But mostly done using the admin back-end. You can create accounts for another user. Could we integrate with existing user system on CoTech Forum - Discourse accounts? Alex says that everything that complies with OpenID would work.
Suggesting that we do a pyramid-scheme style engagement thing where the reps from the co-ops can get their fellow co-op members involved. (more on that below re Microsolidarity)
It would be useful to add Hubl information to the existing onboarding document.

Create a resource where people can know what their place is within CoTech - to create a map of who's who. A kind of map to help with onboarding.
What kinds of business activities does this co-op perform? How big is this co-op? How active are they within CoTech?
Using animals to make it short and sweet, easier to remember than a complex description. Create a metaphor for the function and role of the co-op within the ecosystem.
Questions will be for example: how does your membership system/structure work within your co-op? What is your raison d'être? What is your role within CoTech? What is the size of your co-op? What are your business activities? What would you like it to be like? What are you looking for in other co-operatives, and in CoTech? What are the problems you face? Can you volunteer someone from your co-op to be the main contact point for Hubl?
Calum: some data will be provided by Hubl itself. E.g. we will be able to see who the main producers of (Hubl) projects are, consumers etc.
Josef: Microsolidarity could be useful reference here, people committing to getting to know each other and supporting each other, through "crewing" practices.
Suggestion that the one thing we expect all members of all co-ops to read is the Cotech Monthly Newsletter
Within Hubl this would be using the circles feature, which can be public or private (Hubl is now Pimp my co-op)
