Translators! New tool available to make it easier for all of us!
One of our objectives is to be a world cooperative, therefore we need the webside to be translated in as many languages as possible. To do so, we just made an account in transifex, an open source web-based translation platform, which will facilitate this task. All of you are welcome to participate!! You just need to create an account and join the project. Access here
When the Ecosystemic Council decides how to manage its fund, everyone that has participated will receive a reward in faircoin.
Be a member of a Council!
Councils are needed to make decisions and define how we want to build fair.coop. At the present time there is several people selected by the promoter team in order to boost the councils until the voting system and the whole process will be activated. After that decisions will be made democratically among all faircoop community.
At the moment, the criteria to select these people is based on:
- Affinity with the principles
- Organization/collective you belong and represent
- Diversity of areas of involvement
- Diversity of Territories
- Time availability
The main task of the provisional councils will be to develop the methodology of decision making for each council according to FairCoop procedures.
We encourage everyone to start participating by saying how they imagine or how they think the council should work.
To be a member of a provisional Council you just need to propose it in each Community and the current members and the promoter team will get in touch with you:
Welcome Collectives
If you are a collective and want to join FairCoop, we created this group as a space to introduce yourselves to the community, share your experiences, your ideas and thoughts..
“ Let’s see what brought us together, and how we can built FairCoop together.”
“How to…” Manuals
FairCoop is not hard to understand, but it may be complex. For all newbies and in order to share and spread FairCoop we are creating different manuals for every occasion:
- Welcome to fairnetwork: For those who just landed into fairnetwork
- How to create local nodes
- Diffusion material for FairCoop
These manuals will be developed by each respective commission as follows: Welcome group, Support local node group, Diffusion and culture commission.
