Excellent, added a resources page
Thanks for this, very much. I added a resource page. Let's keep up the contributions and spirit.
Are there Drupalists out there who work in cooperatives now?

Existing Drupal worker-coops ?
I know of this Drupal worker-coop - they are not exlusively Drupal, there is also Chicago Tech Coop, but not sure if they still run
http://quilted.coop/
Quilted is a worker-owned, cooperatively-managed company stitching together technology and social change. We take on work that challenges us to be more critical and insightful designers, engineers, and thinkers while remaining pragmatic and focused on adding real social value to our projects.
With offices in Boston, Massachusetts and Berkeley, California, we provide strategic consulting, graphic design, and web development services to progressive arts, education, and non-profit organizations. We focus on standards based design and work with open source technologies such as Drupal, WordPress, and Ruby on Rails.
Yes, Agaric
In addition to Quilted as mentioned (which helped produce the great guide linked to), i personally am in Agaric collective and there's also Koumbit in Canada and Palante Tech in NYC who recently incorporated formally as a worker coop.
