coop | groups.drupal.org
Welcome
This group reflects a desire to support co-ops in Drupal.
Drupal is increasingly being used by co-operative organizations. While initially many co-ops have started working with Drupal in isolation, it has become apparent that we share similar needs, and that there is great potential to demonstrate the 6th principle: Co-operation among co-operatives.
Potential objectives for this group:
- A base install (w/documentation) for co-ops to manage members, assets, duties, etc
- Development or sponsorship of modules specifically aimed at co-operative needs
- Sharing of themes, schemas, use-case writeups, etc.
- Involving co-ops in the Drupal community: Camps, cons, training
...and more! (You may also be interested in the gdo groups for CSA, and Drupal Worker Coops)

Who is this group for?
Hey all – I was excited to see a g.d.o group for cooperatives, but this group seems very much geared towards consumer cooperatives (like food coops) rather than worker cooperatives who do Drupal work (which is what I was hoping.) Do folks think there's room for both, or should this stay focused on the Drupal needs of consumer cooperatives? Either way, I think the group name and description should be improved so the purpose of the group is more clear.
Drupal Cooperative to create and manage projects
English:
I always liked to create and manage drupal projects, but it's a high time consuming task for just one person. If you work for a company you can lern a lot and it's also nice but you finally don't own the money and the work. That's why I would like to set up an ¿international? cooperative. It can allow us to work for us and do what we like.
¿Any ideas or previous experiences?¿Payment/earn methods, bug/tickets systems, managment?

Not really my job to post, but getting more Drupal folks involved in the NCGA could only be a good thing.
A shout-out for og_mailinglist, drupal based mailing list with email+web interface
I'd like to draw some attention to work being done by Kyle Mathews over on http://drupal.org/project/og_mailinglist that (IMHO) has a great deal of relevance to co-ops & activist groups. He just released the first beta, and while I don't have the expertise necessary to contribute on a code level, I would love to see it continue to mature status.
Shift scheduling module
Hi. The description of your group says that the first module you're working on is for shift scheduling. I actually developed a similar module recently, and I thought I'd post in case you're interested. It's currently being hosted at http://code.google.com/p/drupal-shift-scheduler/
