Had a lovely chore-night with @anaulin as we did the books for #ZincCoop and published a light quarterly update with our financial statements: https://opencollective.com/zinc-community/updates/q3-2024-update

Two of my #Cooperatives got written up in #CounterPunch. They interviewed @anaulin who is a member of both #CohereCoop and #ZincCoop.

@Zee BTW what is #ZincCoop?

@sam Well, if you ever want to lend your keyboard, #ZincCoop is always interested in cooperatively minded technical contributors. Part of why it exists is because the "money bit" is hard when it's done person by person.

@eldaking @astraluma Theoretically this is what #ZincCoop is supposed to be; but the last couple years have derailed us from anything beyond keeping the lights on and making small, steady progress on our community owned projects... But we're looking at ~$1k in profit in 2021! And our mutual benefit arms customer list doubled!

Hi @zee !

Just found https://www.wegotyourback.today/ from #zinccoop. The concept of community supported software is new to me and sounds very interesting. Is there a more in depth presentation of the concept? Did you develop a licence for it?
