One of my goals for 2026 is to write more. My first blog post of the year is now live:
"The Future Is Cooperative"
https://whateverthing.com/blog/2026/01/05/the-future-is-cooperative/
Wherein I discuss the co-op model as an alternative to corporations/startups, and share my experiences so far with some of the co-ops I am involved with.
we're pleased to announce https://guixotic.coop, a new free software cooperative focused on gnu guix and guile cofounded by @podiki, maxim cournoyer and me. we offer services including training, commercial support, development, system administration (CI/CD, HPC), packaging -- in short, everything guix and guile.
our goal is to strengthen & expand the community, bringing in new people and organizations (our clients), supporting development work, and growing the network of organizations supporting these technologies.
could you or an organization you know of benefit from our services? email contact@guixotic.coop or contact us here!
