Wondering how these commons hour sessions are marketed?

We post each session announcement to: our ops members (Matrix), social.coop (where it gets several boosts), our membership (OpenCollective), Twitter (@wouter ‘s account), and by direct email to the commons.hour contributors’ list (many of these are in the now-forming Board), and a list of ‘new economy’ associates of Robin Murray (author of the 2009 Coops UK report Cooperation in the Age of Google).

More lists to add Graham? There are four regular sessions still to run, including the May session, plus three series ‘wrap up’ sessions focused more specifically on governance matters. The programme.

After that, six months down the line from now . . a review of commons.hour as an ongoing programme of coop-commons conversations. The present series was designed to support the internal process of developing a multistakeholder form within meet.coop. Many commons.hour contributors turn out to be incipient members of meet.coop’s Board of stewards.

The overview of the series to date, including links to recordings, is here: Commons.hour - Overview - #8 by mikemh

I may well be late getting to this as I have an earlier call that I can’t miss.
