Hello Linux fans,

The co-op sounds like a very cool idea. 

You should consider using the (free) Xenternet community service to
organize it. I made Xenternet precisely for this sort of thing.

At www.xenternet.com, you can create an online community that has its
own threaded discussion board, events calendar, and news
articles. There is a 3 level moderation system. Group access can be
made public or private. Pictures with captions can be attached to all
content.

For example, check out the Portland Tech events calendar:

Also check out the screen shots at:

If you require additional functionality I might be interested to
implement it.

Xenternet was made using PHP, PostgreSQL, XML, and XSLT, and runs
under Apache on Linux 2.4.
