I couldn’t find a good and recent summary page anywhere, so this is my attempt
to put something together.
They started around a decade ago, and they are currently still very active.
While the website is a bit out of date in some areas, and the twitter / linkedin
doesn’t have frequent updates, their Facebook page
[https://www.facebook.com/coopcycle/] has had multiple posts in the past few
days (related to their annual meetings), and their GitHub repos
[https://github.com/coopcycle/coopcycle-app] have constant activity as well. >
From October 15th to 18th, the international courier community and federation
will gather in Pamplona-Iruña, hosted by our local member Ziclo-P.

turning it into a profit-driven business. You can see the map of cooperatives

While their website doesn’t mention a Fediverse presence, they do seem to think
positively of Fediverse related projects. While I’m personally not local (and
swamped with other projects already), I think it could be worth reaching out to
them and getting them on here. Their Facebook posts don’t see much interaction,
and I think they would get along well on the Fediverse. Here is what they
mention about “Are there other similar projects”
> Yes. CoopCycle is part of a broader movement of solidarity-based digital
alternatives.
Projects like Framasoft, Mobilizon, Cascade, and Open Food France share the same
philosophy.

Bonjour :)
J’ai lu des articles à propos de coopcycle.org et je pense qu’ils vont adorer Lemmy/Fediverse:
What would be the best instance for this, maybe jlai.lu? If you happen to know them, feel free to send them an invite. I’m in Canada, and I think it would be better if this was organized by someone local / in France
