I joined the co-op yesterday and I was immediately inundated with emails. I rarely get email. Whisk is the emailer. She gets about fifty to my one. After sifting through them I think the name they decided on was Hydra. Good name. It fits. It goes along with what I think this group is going to be about. From the introductions we have a diverse group of folks who all bring a lot of talent to the pool so if we can somehow organize and manage correctly I think some good things will come of it.
Projects are being discussed. Philosophy and direction of the group are being discussed. And what services we are providing are being discussed. I won't get into all the legal crap because I don't know a damn thing about it. All I want it to help some folks out if I can and get some help at times. I do have a solid group of people around me now, but it never hurts to diversify and keep options open.
I haven't said much to the group. I am more of lurker at this time. But will offer my ideas when I have one worth saying. Right now I am just trying to figure out the group, the personalities within, expectations and how much time I can invest into it. Should be fun.

Hey, I'm in Hydra (I feel like a super villain with that name). Don't know if you knew there is a Forum now. http://outerlab.com/coop/msg/index.php
ReplyDeleteWelcome aboard! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that the forum will take the 'listserv' pressure off of everyone's inbox.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I'm very pleased at the response and thrilled that we have so many UK-based people on board.
It's certainly a good kind of problem to have when starting out. In all honesty, I thought we'd have about a third of the amount of people interested--and an equal level of energy.
ReplyDeletePleased to see that people are running with the idea.
