This is a fully open source and welcoming community.

If you are interested in testing a docs.coop instance, please get in touch: boop@autonomic.zone

We can't offer the same loss leader mega scale prices as the USian tech mega corps but we do offer full control and privacy over your tech services and a thriving co-operative and public sector partnership that is tackling one of the most pressing missing tools in the #FOSS ecosystem.

There are some missing features as the upstream project is still in beta, however we feel with the sustainable funding model the project has, it's only going to get better and better.

The main features that are coming soon that you need to know about are:
- No document import (you'd have to copy and paste)
- No sub-folders (it's one big list of documents)

Here is their roadmap: github.com/orgs/numerique-gouv

Here is our TODO list: git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/

Docs - La Suite
GitHubDocs - La Suite • numerique-gouvDocs - La Suite
Continued thread

It's early days and the project is still in beta but we have published an early version of a @coopcloud recipe (git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/) that makes it easier to deploy Docs for smaller organisations (the La Suite deployment has apparently approx 15,000 users).

We are offering managed Docs instances with full support provided by us. Hosted in the EU by a worker owned tech co-operative.

No bosses, no CEOs and we pay all our taxes.

Co-op Cloud Codelasuite-docsA collaborative note taking, wiki and documentation platform that scales.

We're thrilled to announce our new project:
docs.coop/

Building on the great work of Suite Numerique (docs.numerique.gouv.fr/home/), we are offering an opportunity to be part of a new collaborative Docs platform as a service, that provides an ethical alternative to Google Docs, Office 365, Notion etc.

Docs is the result of a joint effort lead by the French 🥖 (DINUM) and German 🥨 (ZenDiS) governments which represents a paradigm shift in the way open source software is funded.

:TwinPines: Worker-Owned News Outlets Are Changing the Media Industry

"Many employee-owned media companies also take little or no money from advertisers. For instance, in 2023, Morning Brew reported that Defector got 95 percent of its revenue from subscribers during its first year..."

We also have extensive connections with tech co-ops around the world so pretty much anything you can imagine can be built and maintained as entirely outside of the surveillance capitalist system as possible.

We can't always offer as cheap prices as the megacorps but I'm sure you know why that is.

We what can offer is a sustainable alternative sector with thousands of highly skilled workers.

No CEOs, no surveillance, no venture capital. No bullshit.

#workercoops are a vital part of us organising towards a better world based on solidarity not profit.

Boycott and divest from the big U.S. tech monopolies.

Autonomic can help. We offer managed hosting and support for open source infrastructure that can be hosted around the world.

From a mainstream provider in Germany, a privacy focussed provider in Iceland to a Worker Co-op provider in the UK, or something physically in your local space. Your server infrastructure can live in a safe place.

@ajsadauskas @cohentheblue @LibertyForward1 @theropologist Consumer #coops violate #WorkersRights in the same way as #capitalist firms. Worker can't alienate their responsibility for production to consumers any more than they can to capitalists. #WorkerCoops are the only valid firm structure.

Another thing the left should have advocated is collective ownership of property in ways that are compatible with markets such as 100% land value taxes and common ownership self-assessed taxes

Hey Fedizens, just to let you know that we have capacity for new tech work.

Here’s an extensive list of our skills: autonomic.zone/services/

In short, we do open source infrastructure, websites and support. Everything from Wordpress front end to supporting a whole office of Linux clients.

Some of the shiny new things we have been playing with recently include static sites (using Payload CMS for a slick user content creation experience), Passkeys (passwordless login with a hardware token or phone) and continuing to deploy applications using @coopcloud

If you think of anything you might need or have any existing frustrating tech problems you’d like to solve. Feel free to get in touch: boop @ autonomic . zone

Maybe we can make something great happen.
