If all of you fine co-op folks had a choice to host your websites at a non-profit or co-op run hosting company would you make the switch from your current for-profit host?

Trabajo cooperativo, tecnología y territorio

Somos un colectivo con más de 20 años de experiencia en el desarrollo de software y más de 10 años eligiendo el cooperativismo como forma de trabajo.

Quienes hoy integramos Lawal hemos sido parte de la historia de otras cooperativas tecnológicas como Fiqus - Cooperativa de Software y Cambá, experiencias que nos dieron la certeza del potencial de las estructuras colaborativas y autogestionadas.

Elegimos organizarnos de forma horizontal porque creemos en el asociativismo como herramienta de vida.

Desarrollamos tecnología desde el sur, con la mirada que nos da vivir en comunidad y en nuestro territorio. Trabajamos con lenguajes como Elixir y Rust, investigamos y desarrollamos inteligencia artificial, sistemas de alta concurrencia y otras tecnologías de vanguardia.

También nos encontrás en la montaña, en la Biblioteca Popular Bayer, en una asamblea de la mutual La Correntosa, haciendo música, escalando o practicando yoga. Disfrutamos crear juntos, con compromiso y cuidado mutuo, y con cada proyecto que encaramos.

Lawal es el nombre mapuche-huilliche del alerce: “vida después de la vida”. Eso queremos construir: un proyecto vivo, colectivo y con raíces.

@tryst There's the #techcoop tag, and some tech cooperatives that exist that are similar to what you describe: https://github.com/hng/tech-coops. They're rarely accepting new members, and probably harder to get into than a regular company (I've tried a couple, but was rejected). There's also https://apply.coop, but most jobs aren't cooperatives (mostly non-profits and public benefit corporations).

Should we do something native to the Fediverse?

And what would that actually look like? Let’s be honest about what the #Fediverse is. Despite all the code and standards talk, the heart of the Fediverse is anarchism – not in the chaos sense, but in the older meaning:

The letter A for anarkhia (‘without ruler’), circled by an O that stands for order or organization.

We have plenty of the A with decentralization, voluntary cooperation and resistance to imposed authority. But where’s the O? Of clear coordination, transparent […]

Playing around with #GitLab for the first time in a while this morning* and wow I prefer it to #github in many ways.

Little things like the text editor (specifically the way you can switch from markdown to rendered text) and the option to mark issues as confidential.

* I just signed up to git.coop through #WebArchitects (https://www.webarchitects.coop/git#free)

On this month-long journey I met with and interviewed six workers coops, five of which are tech-related. They are vastly different, each operating within their unique context.
https://19.coop
https://syndicats.co
https://teknologisk.coop
https://robur.coop
https://ogtall.no
https://kbhck.dk (bike shop)

I met with the workers' union which has Denmarks first 30-hours collective bargaining agreement at/with a tech workers coop.
https://prosa.dk (union)
https://tetrabit.coop (coop)

I met with two data collectives; democratic organizations which among other things run digital services (matrix, nextcloud, etc) for its members.
https://data.coop
https://ukrudt.net

I also met three hackerspaces and one makerspace.

Expect a blog post (particularly about the coop related stuff) or extended fedi thread some time this summer.
Feel free to @ me if it takes a while.
