Hey #coop #cooperatives #housingcoop people - the Stirchley Development Co-op in Birmingham UK is being fucked by their contracted builder (to summarise bluntly) for £1.2m weeks before completion. More info here: https://www.stirchley.coop/stirchley-businesses-face-closure-jobs-at-risk-and-residents-already-homeless/

If any of you in the co-op community can help practically or otherwise please contact [email protected]

(I’m technically a member but am on medical leave so can't be involved - please don't contact me about it!)

Can I recover my recordings despite service being down?

Hi folks, So here’s the current situation. Me and Nick have been working on this problem a lot. Firstly the comms blast that @wouter tried to send out went wrong and wasn’t sent via email on the OpenCollective due to a confusing UI change: Announcement to meet.coop members 2025-10-31 - Open Collective We desperately need help with comms on this issue. It’s really hard to switch between being a sysadmin and doing comms. I’m trying my best to communicate on the forum but it needs to be more tha...

After more than a year on @SocialCoop I haven't received any reminder to renew my financial contribution. Is this normal? Is renewal simply left to members' own initiative?

Question about the contribution renewal process

Hello, On October 8, 2024, I made a contribution of £36.00 GBP to join the social.coop cooperative. Time has passed and today (2026-02-28), I just thought about renewing my financial contribution, in the amount of £12.00 GBP. I am surprised not to have received any message requesting a renewal of my financial contribution. I don't think I received an email, I saw nothing on the https://social.coop interface, and nothing on https://opencollective.com either. I found and read the Wiki page "Social.coop registration process" but found no documentation regarding "renewal". I have a few questions: is it normal not to receive a reminder? does the cooperative deliberately let members renew their contribution at their own pace, without any prompting, trusting in their commitment? Suggestion: what do you think about documenting how the renewal process works on the following pages? https://join.social.coop/registration-form.html and/or in a wiki page at https://git.coop/social.coop/community/docs/-/wikis/home Have a great day, Stéphane

Just noticed that we've finally doubled our character limit on #SocialCoop from 500 up to a much roomier 1k characters. Thanks to the tech working group for making this happen! To celebrate, I will now post the lyrics to "I love you, Octopus" by Dalmatian Rex and the Eigentones which would not have previously fit here!

I think it's great that you've got eight wobbly arms
I can never see you with your crazy camouflage
I think you're bostin, you are surreal
Better than the fish, the sharks and even the Conger Eel

Because...
I love you, Octopus

I wish I was as rich as the English king and queen
I'd spend my money on a brand-new submarine
I'd swim with the dolphins like Jacques Cousteau
In the end of the evening, we'll have a real big fish disco

Because...
I love you, Octopus

I love you... Octopus I love you!

Might be worth considering as a #SocialCoop service ...
