Seen by 84
It was agreed on the second day of Newcastle 2019 gathering that CoTech Fund could reimburse Webarchitects for running (a part of) our infrastructure. The breakdown of the running services indicates the following WebArchitects contributions we are using on daily basis:
coops.tech domains name, £62.82 per year
Discourse server, 4GB RAM, £1,450 per year
2 x static hosting accounts for coops.tech and dev.coops.tech, £60 per year
wiki.coops.tech hosting, £115 per year
This amounts to £1687.82 per year and this is the amount proposed to be initially one-off payment to Webarchitects. It would enable us to consider what services we are using and need in the future.
For more info, go to Newcastle 2019 fund wiki page.
According to the rules for approving spending we agreed on in Sheffield earlier this year, a group thread is formed for everyone to view but only the co-ops who pay into the fund can object to the spending. List of the co-ops is in Sheffield 2019 CoTech fund minutes file. More info on approving spending on respective fund wiki page.

Cover costs of CoTech Loomio subscription - Volunteer & Community Orgs - $125 Closed Tue 31 Mar 2020 11:03AM
Hi,
Thank you for supporting the proposal, the community subscription plan has now been purchased and we can use Loomio in current capacity until the 4th of April 2021.
They payment has been set up as recurring but we will check-in with everyone next March before renewing.
Animorph will shortly invoice CoTech to get reimbursed by the fund for £106.08.
Loomio introduced subscription plans that make our CoTech account inactive. As a result we cannot do many things, e.g. start a new thread.
Researching ways to upgrade our Loomio revealed we are eligible for Volunteer & Community Org plan (as opposed to regular pricing).
After filling out the application, the cost turns out to be $125 per year.
Could we spend this money from the fund? If no one objects to this proposal, Animorph will purchase the plan and get reimbursed.
Only members of the fund can vote.

Absolutely! I would also like to encourage those coops that aren't currently contributing to the fund to consider if they can help, in order to support the basic infrastructure we all use as part of the network

Sounds good to us! Happy to support Loomio and I think we'll get more use out of it in the future.

hi, there was no need to vote. The procedure was approved earlier this year in Sheffield and is linked above - if there is no objections the proposal passes. Only the co-ops who have paid so far could object, the current list is on the discourse.
