合作運動的基礎是共同需求，用集體的方式解決個體的困境，盈餘最終回歸集體。依靠集體的力量，我們能選擇有益於當地經濟和環境的供應商，基於愛好者的討論舉辦自己的文化活動，為真正的多元性創造流通環境，而不僅僅消費它。在共同生活里創造對未來的共同願望。平台資本主義帶來新的經濟-生產組織方式，共享成為無償勞動，技術則由上而下地改變生產關係。無論中國的共享單車、全球的uber以及airbnb，獨角獸們手中的共享反而是極榮瞬枯的金融遊戲。我們相信，當今回應的方式只有一條路：技術需要經過合作社落地。藉著在亞洲第一次舉辦的平台合作主義聯盟會議，「合作松2」(合作社＋黑客松）前置活動「在地拍腦會」已經在台北，高雄，杭州，香港陸續舉辦，共有超過30組合作社組織參加。在廣泛蒐集意見後，延續思考結合黑客文化與合作社的「共」精神，我們公開邀請中港臺的對合作運動有志的程序員與藝術家、社會創新者，與國際科技人合作組織（Co-lab）以及印度SEWA女工合作組織成員，一同共造（commoning），相互激勵，全球聯動。基於平台合作主義的思考，在組織外創立協作基礎，解決組織內面臨的基本技術問題，啟動合作的介面與其技術之想像。

Cooperativism is the realization of “the first day after revolution“. The infrastructure of cooperativism is common needs, solving individual predicament with collective measures, and the surplus returning to the collective. We might be able to choose environment-friendly and local economy friendly vendors, create our own culture activities based on shared interests like-minded people, establish a true diversified flow environment instead only to consume it. Create the common vsion toward the future in our collaborated living. Platform capitalism shapes new economy and new ways of organized production: sharing becomes a volunteered free labor, and the social relations were constructed from above instead of from below. Chinese shared bicycle, uberization of everything, and airbnb controling the left-out spaces. The shared within unicorn’s hands are finacial game with instant fame. We believe there’s only way to respond: technology needs coops to realize from cloud to ground. Coopathon 2 (Coops plus hackathon) is already warmed up with a series of local panel discussions held in Taipei, Kaohsiung, Hangzhou, and Hong Kong. Over 30 coops participated local panel discussions. We had invited China, Hong Kong and Taiwan’s interested programers, artists, social innovators, and international tech organization Co-lab, and SEWA of India to work together on commoning with those co-ops, inspire and collaborate globally based on platform cooperativism, to build protocol exterior of their own individual organization. We solve our technical issues together, bootstrap the collaboration interface, and illustrate the imagination of new technology.

我們將「在地拍腦會」的意見凝聚為三大主題，以此為協作創想的座標——
自組織（self-organization），強化合作組織內部技術成長，如人與物管理、商品販售、組織會議、民主程序等等工具開發。
合作平台（coop platform)，強化社與社，組織與組織間合作，如社間交易、相互入社、共享社員與資源、共同活動、勸募/眾籌、聯合資料庫、合作社網絡等等。
可近資源（accessible resources）：面對社會大眾，如何擴散合作運動精神，如合作社資源地圖、成立合作社教學、各地法規匯編、全球合作社運動資料庫等等。

We consolidate the local panel discussion results into three main theme, making it as the axis for the collaboration and imagination:

– self organization: enhancing the internal technical literacy and efficiency on man and machine, e.g. the tools development for human and machine resources management, vendoring system, meeting organization, democracy procedure, etc.
– coop platform: enhancing the coops-coops interaction, inter-organization collaboration, e.g. cross-coops transaction, mutual membership, shared member and resources, co-holding events, crowd-funding, united database, coops networks, etc.
– accessible resources: awareness raising activities and events to inspire and disseminate the spirit of coops, facing general public and utility application, e.g. coops resources map, multimedia instructional material for establishing coops, legal resources compilement in different regions, global coops movement database, etc.
