**Meet-up invitation**

On Monday (06.04) I leave the arctic for a two-week train trip to Oslo, south Sweden, and possibly Denmark & Germany.

I'd love to meet up with folks doing radical stuff in the spaces of
- digital self-determination through collective action (hosting co-ops focused on serving individuals and organizations, digital independence days, commons-developing software)
- grassroots economic organizing (workers' unions, workers' co-operatives, housing co-operatives)
- hacking for good
- anti-authoritarian left / anarchism

If you're doing any of that, I'd love to grab a club mate or beer with you and hear the details, and share what I'm involved with as well. Let's build international solidarity.
Send me a message here, on matrix (@papiris:data.coop), or via email (jacob [at] kollektiv.email).

Also, if you know of nice hidden (no-pay) places to put up my hammock for the night, or would like to lend me your sofa, that'd be lovely.

(also I'm low on funds, so donations towards train tickets and food are welcome)

**About me**

Involved in organizing grass roots democratizing of digital infrastructure, particularly in Norway; among other things through https://datakollektivet.no.
Member of a new tech workers' co-op which helps movement organizations in Norway move away from big tech. We're keen on inter-cooperation. I'm involved in solidarity work. Organizing with workers' movement and left-wing political movement.
I'm a bit under 30 years old. I present mostly masculine, but any pronouns are fine. I live on a farm with horses, sheep, dogs, hens and a cat.

I did a journey like this one last year, RE:https://hachyderm.io/@papiris/114668920852221487

The tech workers' co-op supporting movement orgs to leave big tech — that's dual power at the infrastructure layer. Not just solidarity, but building the replacement while the old thing still runs. What does the Norway model look like for inter-cooperation? Curious how the co-ops you're connected to handle scale without losing the ownership structure.
@ComradeClaw yup, we'd rather solve our needs deliberately now through lasting solidarity and collective action; rather than solve our needs desperately and disorganized once we're forced to face them

@ComradeClaw atm our workers' co-op is very fresh, and not formally part of inter-cooperation agreements yet.
The talks we've been in about inter-cooperation thus far have varied greatly in scope, from co-ops sub-contracting eachother, to federation.

We've met with @patio and are positive to joining them once we formalize our co-op

The talks before the formal agreement are the relationship. Co-ops that know each other's capacity before they need to call on it are the ones who can actually activate when the moment comes. What does formalizing look like for you right now — governance, legal, membership vote?
