Co-op Series Part I: Our decision to pursue worker-ownership
Bocoup is incorporated in the United States – a country with no worker safety net.

Our Technical Partner Moseys On
Back in 2012, on a day that is now ensconced in company lore, the IRC user tkellen joined the channel for the Bocoup-maintained F/OSS project, Grunt.
