On Thursday I’m hosting THIS game-based workshop for London Data Week: Community Energy Data Dilemmas! 🥳😳 It’s sold out but if you’d like another chance to take part (maybe you work in this field / want an inspirational team activity) DM me. It’d be amazing to run it again. #communityenergy

Jakob's Nielsen's UX newsletter has dropped in my inbox. Let's see if I can gird my loins and board his techno-optimist #AI train! Hot takes ahead! What’s this? A comic. We'll begin with its rousing cover! 1/

We’re very proud to have been developing NookCRM for the #CommunityEnergy sector, funded by the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme too! 🙌🙌🙌

This week we pressed the button: NookCRM - the case management tool for #CommunityEnergy groups - is coming out of pilot and is now available for all! #fuelpoverty #opensource #civicrm 🥳🎺🎉

Richard Edwards@richardedwards.me · 9mo ago

If you want to take one practical step TODAY for #digitalsovereignty: use meet.coop instead of Teams, Zoom etc. Spending £9 / month on a basic business tech function that’s *cooperatively owned* is an incredibly low risk and useful step towards a better future.

Say hello to our CoTech team there today, Natasha, Richard and Ben: members of worker owned tech cooperatives! They love to talk about #digitalsovereignty 👍

Ethical Consumer@ethical-consumer.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Excited to be showcasing NookCRM.com at @commenergyengland.bsky.social‘s WINTER CONFERENCE, on 17 November! 🌟 Plus connecting with CEE members from across England, diving into crucial #CommunityEnergy matters. 🙌 If you want to learn more about how Nook can support your case management come say hi!

This week the NookCRM team are bopping about to the news of: welcoming our 12th #communityenergy org to our CRM pilot AND our becoming a member of @commenergyengland.bsky.social 🥳🎉🥳

Many claim that businesses organized as democracies are inefficient and will fail at a higher rate than the conventional undemocratic model. But according to the data, democratic businesses are significantly more resilient and survive longer than conventional businesses. #EconomicDemocracy

Now this is a lovely development. We're starting a regular community of practice for NookCRM users + #communityenergy groups to talk approaches, opine about case management and to generally swap notes. Come join! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nook-crm-c...

More happy tidings! Nook, our CRM for #communityenergy groups, has secured a second batch of funding from the Energy Redress Scheme to develop improved reporting features for orgs working against #fuelpoverty and for #WarmHomes 🥳 nookcrm.com

News that Trump has signed an executive order banning collective bargaining for nearly 1 million US federal workers is incredibly worrying. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues and sister unions overseas against these attacks on their union rights.
