Exceldor ne doit pas disparaître
POINT DE VUE | Le Conseil québécois de la coopération et de la mutualité (CQCM) a appris que le conseil d’administration de la coopérative Exceldor proposait à ses membres de vendre la totalité de ses actifs et ainsi se démutualiser.
POINT DE VUE | Le Conseil québécois de la coopération et de la mutualité (CQCM) a appris que le conseil d’administration de la coopérative Exceldor proposait à ses membres de vendre la totalité de ses actifs et ainsi se démutualiser. En réaction à cette nouvelle, le CQCM ne peut s’empêcher d’exprimer sa déception devant la possibilité de la disparition d’une coopérative de 80 ans d’existence qui constitue un fleuron québécois et l’une des plus importantes entreprises de transformation de volailles au Québec.

@LesScopAura Fier d'être client et sociétaire de Telecoop depuis... longtemps.
Over the last couple of weeks, we've been pretty flat out working on the Experience CS project for the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
However, somehow we've also found time to finish the design refresh of the Mission Patch website. There's never been a better time to design some laptop stickers to celebrate a project milestone with your team!

@projectgus Very interesting! Fascinating to compare to our #cooperative in Helsinki, #MajavanTila (https://www.majavantila.fi/en/).
Do I understand correctly from https://castlemaine.coop/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/CCIC-Business-Plan-23-April-2025.pdf that the plan is for profits to pay back the principal in about 60 years (25 % in each 15-year cycle of debentures, p. 17)?
@collectifission @jeffmcneill @alberto the problem is that #Mozilla failed to use their past "#UncoditionalIncome" or rather absurdly good #Google deal in any meaningful and sustainable way.
Which is why I want @Mozilla / @mozilla_support to hand over #Firefox to @torproject and make #TorBrowser it's #upstream.
Obviously the best option would be for #Mozilla to become like a #nonprofit (#eV) or #cooperative (#eG) where they have to actually #audit their finances (in the case of cooperatives, by an accredited external auditor) to enshure they ain't wasting huge amounts of money.
Cuz even if everyone there makes $200k a year (obviously they don't) that's still $300M that had to go somewhere.
And even if we assume they blow another $100M on equipment, hosting, sponsorships and other expenses that's still $200M unaccounted for.
Anything else is a #donation.
