Dear Community, As many of you know I want to encourage our community to take more ownership of Homesteaders Co-op. I am now on a regular lookout for new opportunities for our Co-op to operate more as a co-operative. This is an ongoing evolution. For the last month or so we have been holding voice meetings on a bi-monthly basis in Discord. A lot of good ideas and discussion have come out of those meetings already. But I realize that not everyone in our community prefers to communicate in discord or has the time or availability for our voice meetings. ### I'd like to start a monthly open forum here in steem in a post + comments format. I think this may complement our Open Community voice meetings nicely. ‐ @sagescrub
