=DisCOnaut Qualifications, Requirements and Vibe=


As you've probably deduced by now, the DisCO Mothership and Governance Model is basically a carework collective with a livelihood component. We believe it is important to make this explicit so both more money-oriented and work-only candidates can spare themselves the time (not to mention that onboarding new members really is a huge investment of time and energy on our side.
Here's a copy of the document we send to all the potential DisCOnauts:
===Requirements for DisCO Project Members===
(Don't panic! We're here to help :) )
* Required reading for all committed members: [https://disco.coop/manifesto/ DisCO Manifesto], [https://autonomy.work/portfolio/platformingequality/ Autonomy Paper], [[The_DisCO_Project_Matrix|DisCO Matrix Project Description]], [https://elements.disco.coop/ DisCO Elements].
* Basic Understanding of [https://disco.coop/governance-model/ Governance Model] and the three value streams.
# Availability for [[DisCO_Glossary#Carework|Carework]]
# Availability for [[DisCO_Glossary#Lovework|Lovework]]
# You will be paid according to the governance model. Part of your work will be Lovework and Carework. Take this into account.
* Required mentoring Tools and rhythms. Receiving Mentoring is tallied as [DisCO_Glossary#Lovework|Lovework]]. You need to know what this means.
* [[Types_of_Membership|Dating phase]] until dating members reach agreed-on "Committed Level" according to set Milestones. Depending on the moment, you might have to be fast-tracked into speed-dating (3 months). [https://wiki.guerrillamediacollective.org/Dating_Phase_for_Transition_Translators#Stage_Three_.28Months_6-9.29 Stage 3 milestones] (adapted from Guerrilla Translation to DisCO project, so some things don’t apply) will be prioritised in Speed Dating.
* If we are in the middle of a project/grant, our priorities will be focused on the agreed-on deliverables.
* We are preferably looking for people who are in this for the long run and aspire to become a [[Types_of_Membership|committed member]].
* Experience in coops/collectives
* Knowledge of P2P/Commons, Feminist Economics
* Identify as Feminist, AntiRacist and Anticapitalist (non-negotiable!)
(i.e., no tech-bros, art-school snobs, aggro dudes, etc)
* We’re very clear on vibe. Weird vibe = no go, no harm done.
* Able to read and process long documentation
* Quick learning skills, self-leadership and good balance of group work vs autonomy
* Excellent communication (ghosting or passive aggression not tolerated, including respecting agreed workdays/schedules, reporting absences).
* Willingness to commit at least 7 hrs - 15 hrs a week (more is preferable). We don't expect you to put in so many hours straight away and prefer to prioritize mentoring as you build up your hours, commitment and responsibility.
* Other perks
# Great team, great vibe, no toxic masculinity.
# Great project with great potential.
# Destroy capitalism and the patriarchy!
# (Yes, except for the last part, these are the same promises given in bullshit, underpaid or volunteer work, but we want to fairly reward you for this)
