Unfamiliar with DisCO? START HERE
If you're not already familiar with DisCO we recommend taking some time to get the picture overview of what we offer before diving deep into the minutiaes of DisCONomics.
DisCO intro articles and short videos
For a brief introduction to DisCOs we recommend these two introductory articles, with their corresponding video trailers:
1: Last Night A Distributed Cooperative Organization Saved My Life: A brief introduction to DisCOs
"DisCO stands for Distributed Cooperative Organizations, and it’s a set of organizational tools and practices for groups of people who want to work together in a cooperative, commons-oriented, and feminist economic form. DisCO is also an alternative to another form called the Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, or DAO".
2: DisCO in a Nutshell (Covid Edition)
"Distributed Cooperative Organizations or DisCOs explained in a nutshell and what they mean in the context of the Covid-19 crisis."
3: Take Your Time, Do It Right: Commons Governance
"A guide to how DisCO governance specifically articulates the 7 DisCO Principles and Eleven Values. Includes infographic illustrations about the DisCO Governance and economic model"
DisCO Governance Model Infographic
The DisCO Governance Infographic features a simplified visual explanation of the Basic DisCO Governance Model.
The DisCO Trilogy
The DisCO Trilogy comprises three downloadable multi-format publications covering various aspects of DisCO. Also to be published as Audiobooks (see section below)
If I Only Had a Heart: The DisCO Manifesto
The DisCO Manifesto is a deep dive into the world of Distributed Cooperative Organizations. Over its 80 colorful pages, you will read about how DisCOs are a P2P/Commons, cooperative and Feminist Economic alternative to Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (or DAOs). The DisCO Manifesto also includes some background on topics like blockchain, AI, the commons, feminism, cooperatives, cyberpunk, and more.
Care Before Code: The DisCO Elements
The DisCO Elements is a compilation of several articles on DisCO, including dedicated sections on DisCO in our current historical and Pandemic context, the Seven Principles, DisCO Governance, DisCO Carework and DisCO policies. The DisCO Elements is a "director's cut", expanded from a publication commissioned by Autonomy.work. The DisCO Elements will also be serialized as standalone articles in Hackernoon and cross-posted in DIsCO Stories.
The DisCO PinkPaper
(Forthcoming, late 2021) The White paper for the DisCO project (or as we like to call it, the PinkPaper), will not only describe the technological aspects but will also highlight the cultural and ethical considerations underlying our design choices. The DisCO PinkPaper will include sections on the DisCO FLOOR, the DisCO DECK and their co-dependencies, as well as a sections on the DisCO STACK and how it relates to FLOOR and DECK.
Other DisCO Links and Resources
Your main resources for all things DisCO is our website DisCO.coop and this wiki.
