Cooperative Development Guidelines
Guides, advice and templates on how to structure communities, projects and organizations.
All documents are designed to be independent so they are adopted individually and/or gradually and mutable so they can changed/edited to fit any use case.
The values underpinning these documents are:
- Participatory: beings affected have a direct say in what happens and there is plurality of opinions
- Designed for dissent
- Direct action: we do not only give voice but also agency and we follow consent that is freely given and can be revoked
- Ubuntu - “I am because we are”. We all affect each other and have responsibilities/obligations towards each other, our communities, other species and the earth as a whole
- Permacomputing
- Total Liberation and Intersectional Feminism
- Digital Commons: sharing our work freely and collaborating with others that share the same values
