here is a terrible picture of a coopers hawk we saw this morning in case you need a terrible picture of a coopers hawk
(PS Coopers hawks are always named 'Coop', in honor of Twin Peaks, and that's the rule I'm sorry if it disappoints you)

#introduction
大家好 / Hello / Bonjour.
The long and the short: I am:
• a lapsed active transportation / transit / mobility equity advocate
• a regional planning stan
• interested in civictech, coops and service design.
Since 2021, I’ve been serving as a board member at Modo, a car-sharing cooperative in Vancouver (and beyond!), working to decouple car access from ownership to shape transit-oriented, walkable communities - with #coop principles at the heart of it all.
La bataille contre les milliardaires et pour un monde différent se mène aussi ici!
Je les suis depuis le tout début, avant même qu'ils existent 
Si les Stérins et Bollorés n'ont aucune limite, nous aussi ne devons en avoir aucune!
J'ai pas assez d'icônes fusée.
Ne nous regardez pas, rejoignez-nous

This week at Go Free Range:
- Progress on the Experience CS project with the Raspberry Pi Foundation
- Scripting user interactions to generate screencasts for Mission Patch
- Improving some Rails documentation on database-related env vars related to deploying to a PaaS
I remember how content translation was handled on the web over a decade ago and it was just pure nightmare fuel. Now with @weblate it is just a pleasure to do and allows the community to help contribute to translations. A big thanks to @Codeberg to running an instance of this too!
Kudos to @erkattak for spearheading this effort to use it for https://apply.coop so we can support our fellow co-ops in other countries!
Dear network, do you know of any tech coops in Lithuania? Google wasn't of any help on this.

Worker Co-op Weekend
Thornbridge Outdoors, Peak District
16-18 May 2025
Our theme this year is about building power through mutual learning and coalition. Worker cooperation is not just a way to improve the everyday lives of workers. Co-ops can strengthen the wider movement for social, economic and climate justice. In the process, we are building the infrastructure for goods and services that underpins a different kind of society.
During ICA CCR 2025 Global Coop Research Conference, the Fédération des coopératives du Nouveau-Québec will host a workshop on creating an international network of indigenous cooperatives, in collaboration with Arctic Co-operatives Limited, on July 7, 2025.

Cooperative AI, the first global conference on cooperatives and artificial intelligence

We've only been at https://apply.coop for 3 months or so. Sure we could have YOLOed some CRUD app into the wild based on some framework, but we wanted to take a different approach to our tech stack. We've made lots of progress and are happy with our choices.
Still priding ourselves of no JS and a single binary with all static assets embedded.
So excited and humbled. I got my first official paycheck from my own co-op. We've been in business for a year, and I've been full time for only 3 months and here we are making this co-op model work. It's only going to get better as time goes on.
Given the state of Big Tech internet services these days, I've been thinking a lot recently about the possibility of forming a remote worker coop based in Canada to provide online services, starting with email (probably).
To that end, I've been talking with other interested folks (currently @ipsquiggle and @dacmot) about how to actually go about making a Hypothetical Sunny Garden Online Service Coop into a real thing.
If that's something that sounds like you might want to participate in trying to get off the ground -- in particular if you have any experience with the many things that will go into that, like coop organization (especially in Canada (especially in BC)), devops, full stack development, etc. -- and you would be interested in joining our informal Zulip chat to discuss things on an ongoing basis then please let me know 
EDIT: I'm going to close inquiries on this post for now to give me some time to catch up. Thanks to everyone that has expressed interest!
"Friends pool money to build ecovillage in self-owned factory co-op"
"In the small Danish town of Ebeltoft, 160 friends did something most people only dream about: they pooled their money to buy a sprawling, decommissioned steel factory. The building, cold and cavernous, wasn’t much to look at at first. But for this group, it represented something rare: a chance to create a community on their own terms."
