Now we're getting somewhere, just had a great work session with @ssvette using Jami, etherpad, Open Food Network, Loomio, and clockify (which I learned about from DisCO).

Interesting challenge: along the front range of the Rockies in Colorado, where the biggest cities are, there are now two food system platforms that are being adopted by #FoodHubs, #FarmersMarkets, #producerCoops, #CSAs, etc: Liveline.ca, a for profit, proprietary platform out of Ontario, CA, and Open Food Network, a commons-oriented open source platform. Our effort in Colorado Springs lies between the two and will soon choose. Trying to advocate for OFN without alienating people...

Independent Film Society of Colorado and Pikes Peak Foodshed Forum showed the film Food for Change last night.

Great portrayal of the history of cooperatives in the US (could use more on the rich history of cooperatives and BIPOC).

Got a handful of people to sign-up for discussion of forming a local Cooperative Study-Action Circle.

Friends on Social.Coop -- I want to introduce Sean Svette, an educator and activist on local food system issues here in Colorado Springs. Sean is involved in multiple projects and is a joy to work with.

This is very helpful!! Just what I was looking for. So far it seems all the examples are European. I wonder if there are any in the US?
