Interesting article on the tech choices behind CommonsCloud.

(CommonsCloud is a platform coop combining Discourse, NextCloud and Phabricator. They’re trying to build an online collaboration platform for the solidarity economy.)

Just saying, nomadic identity and cloning, these are smart ideas:

“Nomadic identity means true ownership of online identity. With Hubzilla, you don’t have an account on a server, you own an identity that you can take with you across the grid. You can clone a channel across multiple hubs for resilience against network failures or censorship, or you can completely move a channel from one hub to another, taking your data and connections with you.”

Kudos to #Hubzilla on that.

Reposted: A post (social.coop)

Piece about tech #coops leading an upswing of workers coops in the UK and the causes of the previous decades of decline in number of worker coops.

The sixth coop principle – cooperation between cooperatives is stronger in counties that have not seen the same kind of decline of worker coops.
