A New Chapter for Co-op Development at SPACE4

Since I started working at Outlandish and SPACE4 in 2022, we’ve been itching to run another co-op accelerator...

At Candelo Bulk Wholefoods, a food workers coop, where four of the staff (including me) walk or ride to work every day #WalkToWork #RideToWork #WorkersCoop

"What if salaries are not solely decided by the market but by the people who do the work and by how much they think they’ll need for a living? What if people could change their roles within a team without the fear of earning less or having less say? Would it enable more collaboration instead of just advancing individual career paths?"

Playing around with #GitLab for the first time in a while this morning* and wow I prefer it to #github in many ways.

Little things like the text editor (specifically the way you can switch from markdown to rendered text) and the option to mark issues as confidential.

* I just signed up to git.coop through #WebArchitects (https://www.webarchitects.coop/git#free)

Next up for me at the #CoopCongress today (maybe mute this hashtag now if this isn't your jam 😅) we have:

"What's next for us owning our own tech? Let's talk about #CoTech"

> Hosted by John Robb, musician, author and campaigner; and Natasha Natarajan, Outlandish Co-operative, and Richard Rowley from Agile Collective, who are both part of CoTech – a network of ethical tech, digital and creative co-operatives.

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.

To give a bit more on what to expect: they "have proposed to take over the plant by forming a cooperative to facilitate futuristic production."
