[[File:Organizational map of social.coop.png|thumb|alt=An organizational map of social.coop|An organizational map of social.coop]] | == Common questions == | ||
1. Are there any coop jobs available to me? How do I find out about those? | |||
There are a number of working groups involved in the [[Operations]] of the coop - check them out at that link. We intend to rotate in members regularly to prevent burnout, so please reach out to any group you are interested in participating in. | |||
2. Where does all the money go? | |||
Our [https://www.loomio.com/d/xqw7FtUT/toward-an-annual-budget budget] was outlined and discussed in [[Loomio]]. As of writing, less than a 1/3 of funds go to stipends for various [[Operations]] groups, a little less than that is contributed to allied cooperative and technology projects (determined by the [[Finance Working Group]] .) The rest is split between reserves and hosting the server, paying for [[Loomio]], [[Meet.coop]], and other [[Platforms]]. | |||
3. Is this instance based in the US or somewhere else? | |||
Our [[Platforms]] page says our hosting is [[wikipedia:Hetzner|Hetzner]], which appears to be based in Germany. | |||
4. What's the Matrix chat thing and should I be on that? | |||
[[Matrix]] is an open chat network, where we have a few rooms that you might be interested in. In particular, the Open Chatroom hosts a small amount of meta talk about the coop, and the tech chat is probably where to go if the server is down and you want to see what is happening.[[File:Organizational map of social.coop.png|thumb|alt=An organizational map of social.coop|An organizational map of social.coop]] | |||
