Building the Cooperative Cloud

Sharing a video from https://2018.open.coop/ conference, on providing collaboration software for organisations

“Wouter Tebbens, Co-Founder and President of the Free Knowledge Institute; Chris Croome from UK co-op Webarchitects; Alexandre Bourlier and Sophie Rocher from happy-dev.fr discussing their work developing a suite of cooperatively owned and managed open source tools to rival Google and Apple; a shared technical infrastructure to enable co-operators to move away from data harvesting monopolies.”

Apologies for the youtube link etc…

Nice. And I see there is also prodding over at https://patio.ica.coop/t/coop-hosting-services-to-compete-with-google-amazon/80 (requires a sign up but they seem to be allowing people in).

They had also been discussed within the Open App Ecosystem over at https://www.loomio.org/d/Ksp08FLA/cooperative-commons-clouds
