The *Co-op Cloud Federation* needs you 🫵
We are excited to announce our first open call: a *1 year term, paid position* for a special someone who can support the *Co-op Cloud Federation* with our financial administration.
<!--more-->
## What is Co-op Cloud?
*Co-op Cloud* is a libre software infrastructure project built by and for democratic tech collectives and worker co-ops. The goal is to craft libre software tools from existing parts which simplify and standardise the set up and maintenance of digital infrastructure. Co-op Cloud is built to serve everyday people and organisations who align with our values: grassroots democracy, public ownership and social justice.

Organisations and individuals join in order to help sustain the project, pay membership dues (or apply for a waiver) and participate in [democratic decision making](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/001/). See our [documentation](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/) for more.
The *Co-op Cloud Federation* is an active and dynamic international organisation of 15 members who currently organise and carry out our work together online. An important pillar of our project sustainability is ["A fair day's wage for a fair day's work"](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/intro/get-involved/#compensation) and this requires regular and careful financial administration work. The federation has [received grant funding](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/funding-applications/) and actively searchs for additional funding. We [document our ways of working](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/finance/) and often members bring new proposals forward which have a financial dimension. For example: [`R009`](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/009/), [`R010`](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/010/) and [`R014`](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/014/).
## What will you do?

The exact tasks of this role ("mandate") have been voted on by all federation members in [a large decision](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/029/) which will be repeated here in full.
