I just realized there's no article on Enspiral on Wikipedia!?! Going to fix that right now...

yay! #Enspiral #decentralized #commons #community #activism

@paws @GuerillaOntologist Ok, I see. There's different levels of tightness of coordination in such groups. There are some worker co-op web dev shops I know of, but for simething a bit looser, perhaps the #Enspiral model fits what you're thinking of?

Not involved, but maybe these could be helpful:

Adrienne Maree Brown's book #EmergentStrategy, and

#Enspiral's8patterns for decentralized organizing:

Great description of the Seven Points for Organizational Renewal developed by @richdecibels and comrades at #Enspiral. Please take time to read it. I am particularly interested in Point 2 Systematically Distribute Care Labor, and would like to see us organize this type of activity here on #Social.Coop, through a member-to-member network.

Is this cultural silos? Entrepreneurial temperament? Tech nerds & facilitators can work very happily togather (#Enspiral). But to start, it calls for acceptance that the other community is there, and knows stuff that gets stuff done. Calls for a social-cultural mission too, rather than a tech mission.

Tech nerds can build this bridge? But not big-ego Tech Gods?

@Antanicus There's #Enspiral too (the community of Loomio) - very sussed on the work involved, and processes for handling it transparently. #handbook is at https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/enspiral/enspiral-handbook/details . Financial transparency stuff is at https://handbook.enspiral.com/financial_transparency.html . Basic portal is https://enspiral.com

#Snowdrift.coop are VERY clear about their roles, processes &c. https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/about

After the #readinggroup was left wondering, some more, about relationships between #coop and #commons. Calls for thought?

@kavbojka Also, I know of at least 1 #enspiral member in the US, but I have no idea about how one goes about joining...
