Hey everyone, we've set ourselves up as @[email protected] on #mastodon. See y'all there!
DCC is having our AGM on Friday, November 12, 12-2 pm Eastern. Nominate someone who'd be great on the Data Commons Co-op board! We want to think with you about what membership means and the value that the co-op can help generate among data-sharing members and #data users.
We are excited to see so much great energy in the #coops world. NYC, Chicago, worker co-ops, housing co-ops, it's becoming so clear that #cooperation is the future. And we want to help map that!

The DCC’s data sharing working group has started to share a beta version of our data use agreement. It’s one way to make sharing easier! See datacommons.coop/2020/04/17/…
So many great ideas from all over the world at the #platformcoops conference! Our fave: #ConsentfulTech: consent should be freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic, and specific! That's what we want.

We're excited to welcome @TheDj_Dhananjay as the newest DCC member! He's passionate about the agri-food system and has been active with the ICA. We look forward to expanding the data on co-ops globally with him! #members #data #fairdata

Research on the horizon: collaborating with former DCC board member Jeff Piestrak and @TheCoFED to map local and POC-owned businesses in the food system! Yay #datasharing!
Democratic ownership of #data! Yes!
Should our data be owned by those of us who produced it as a capital asset to help reduce income inequality? Read this brilliant essay by Institute friend Rob Stone with a theory and a plan to make it happen. “A Kelsonian Revolution?” by Rob Nicholas Stone link.medium.com/arQF4hmGgW
Save the date for the 2019 @datacommons annual meeting, May 17 noon-2 Eastern! And, if you have board nominations, send them our way. Thanks!
Are people interested in #data sovereignty? Because we are! Tell us what’s interesting to you about having control over who gets your data, how it’s displayed, and how it’s used.

People at the #CommonBound18 Data Sharing Network Gathering asked, How can we measure what people really value in their economic institutions, beyond being a co-op? @NewEconomics @NCBACLUSA @platformcoop @solidarityeco

Another source of data related to fair & equitable #valuechains are #SocialAndSolidarityEconomy mapping initiatives like Find.coop. As part of that, @DataCommons & @CoopDevInst recently completed a #CoopCensus for the Northeast US w/funding from @CabotCheese
