Hey folks, I’m just going to post our press release here:
Autonomic co-operative are thrilled to announce our new project:
Docs.coop
Building on the great work of Suite Numerique, 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.
It’s early days and the project is still in beta but we have published an early version of a @coopcloud recipes (coop-cloud/lasuite-docs: A collaborative note taking, wiki and documentation platform that scales. - lasuite-docs - Co-op Cloud Code) 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. Docs supports oauth for full integration in your existing infrastructure.
No bosses, no CEOs and we pay all our taxes.
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 road-map: Docs - La Suite · GitHub
Here is our TODO list: https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/
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 U.S. 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 open source ecosystem.
