+## Background
+
+Autonomic is a worker-owned co-operative of queer comrade hackers dedicated to using technology to empower people making a positive difference in the world. Since 2017, we’ve been successfully delivering projects in a range of sectors including renewable energy, labour organising, independent media, feminist research, migrant solidarity activism, sustainable fashion, and arms trade abolition.

+We are currently 12 worker-owners, located on four continents worldwide. We are a Co-operative Society, registered in the UK with the Financial Conduct Authority. Legally, we are a freelance consortium, which means that we operate as a group of self-employed contractors, and are responsible for our own individual income tax.

+Autonomic aspires to follow the [7 co-operative principles as defined by the International Co-operative Alliance](https://www.ica.coop/en/cooperatives/cooperative-identity).

+
+## Pay

+Everyone in the co-op will always be paid the same rate, which we decide on collectively and adjust according to how well we're doing.

+
+## Process

+
+Email helo@autonomic.zone with your CV (doesn't have to be fancy, just a list of work) and a little bit about yourself and what you're looking for work wise.
+
+If we think you might be suitable for these roles, you'll be invited for a few chats with members of the co-op who will show you more about the kinds of work we do and be able to answer any questions you have.
+
+If we want to take you on, we'll then have a vote amongst our members and you can start working for us right away as a "potential member". After 100 hours of work you can be invited to join the co-op as a full member.

+title: The Co-op Cloud Federation Proposal
+description:

+category: coop cloud, decision making, democracy
+date: 2022-04-14
+---
+
+Following on in [the tradition](https://autonomic.zone/blog/new-coop-cloud-blog-and-socials/) of making [short blog posts](https://autonomic.zone/blog/co-op-cloud/) about [Co-op Cloud](https://coopcloud.tech) on this blog, here comes another one!
+
+We're delighted to announce that we have finally published the Co-op Cloud federation proposal. It's a document which aims to formalise the organisation of the project, focusing on a democratic process. It's open for comments, feedback, critique & amendments.
+
+Autonomic has had a central role in the organising of this project until now, but we'd like to step back and open up space for others. The proposal is part of formalising that and we're excited to see who will step in! You can find out more on the [Co-op Cloud blog](https://coopcloud.tech/blog/federation-proposal/) or jump straight to [the proposal](https://pad.autonomic.zone/s/MLafJE2jC).

+title: Publishing our Ansible roles
+description:

+category: ansible, automation, infrastructure
+date: 2022-05-30

+
+We're delighted to announce that we're publishing our Ansible roles
+into the open under [`git.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/...`](https://git.autonomic.zone/explore/repos?q=ansible&topic=1) at long last 🥳
+
+They've always been licensed as libre software but due to the way we managed
+our internal infrastructure configurations, they were embedded in a private
+repository.
+
+The roles are currently lacking documentation and written for very specific
+Autonomic needs but they might be handy as a learning resource or a base to
+fork from. We'd happily accept contributions to generalise them.
+
+In particular, we've been relying on and running
+[`autonomic.new-hetzner`](https://git.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/autonomic.new-hetzner)
+for years, so it is battle tested. The role bootstraps a Hetzner VPS from
+scratch and provisions it with a hardened SSH configuration, firewalls, user
+accounts and some basic packages and a shiny MOTD.
+
+All roles are CI tested on every commit with [Molecule](https://molecule.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) so things don't break.
+
+[Expanding re-use with shared infrastructure](https://community.coops.tech/t/cotech-gathering-ansible-and-shared-infrastructure-session/1107)
+is someting we've always been working on at Autonomic. We have an ongoing
+critique of Ansible and the pros/cons of when it is a good choice to use. This
+ultimately lead us to start projects like [Co-op
+Cloud](https://coopcloud.tech/). However, we still think Ansible is pretty good
+at handling more complicated server provisioning needs.
+
+Happy Infra Hacking.

+description: A brief update about our work with NEoN in the last months.

+category: coop-cloud, neon
+date: 2022-12-18
+---
+
+> This year has seen many changes at NEoN, and we will have many more next year. We are committed to exploring new ways of working that help us develop and implement new strategies that emphasise collaborative, collective, and communal approaches.
+> 
+> As part of our ongoing work on the [Counter Cloud Action Plan](https://neondigitalarts.com/counter-cloud/), [titipi.org](http://titipi.org/) introduced us to [Autonomic](https://autonomic.zone/) and its [Cooperative Cloud Infrastructure.](https://autonomic.zone/#services) Autonomic is a cooperative that is owned and run by its workers. They build technologies and infrastructure to empower users to impact the world positively. Their services reflect their commitment to their core values - sustainability, transparency and privacy.
+> 
+> We commissioned [Autonomic](https://autonomic.zone/) to look over NEoN's digital infrastructure and help us to find a new sustainable way of working that supports one of its goals of DeGoogle-isation. Based on discussions and their past experiences working with other initiatives such as[ lumbug.space](https://lumbung.space/), [UTAW](https://utaw.tech/about/), VREC and [Comic Gewerkschaft](https://www.comicgewerkschaft.org/Uber-Uns), Autonomic has provided us with a plan of reforms, which we are delighted to share with you.

+Read the full report [here](https://neondigitalarts.com/neon-digital-reforms/)!
+
+Much love & solidarity to the good people at NEoN!
