building a coop - applications for support

[jsms90]

Potential support from:

• Altgen - we already know Constance

• The Hive

• Seeds for Change - mentioned by Sion at the "Freeing the freelancer: cooperative solutions" event (see separate issue #11 for Sion/Calverts)

• Co-operatives UK - London Co-op

• Stir to Action

• Cooperative Technologists - started by Outlandish as "the Megazord"

@jsms90 shall we assign - date, time and people which are up for meeting very soon and filling the application forms for both Seeds for change and The Hive?

I am OK at writing applications but not sure its my forte.. Does anyone of you feel like they totally rock at this stuff? @jsms90 @bradreeder @sohilpandya @emilyb7? its all about framing it and telling our story/narrative...

[jsms90]

@nogainbar Agreed. I was just thinking about how this issue isn't very easy to close off, and we're going to start having a huge list if we're not careful.

Maybe we could pop this into a document instead.

@nogainbar more than happy to help with the application stuff! Don't know that it's my forte either, but I'm sure that together we can do a great job ;)

I am going to reopen the issue and call it differently "building a coop - applications for support"

[jsms90]

@nogainbar Just opened an issue specific to The Hive #24 and Bright Ideas #25 . Let's make these small and granular, and close-able? :+1:
