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.

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.

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

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 ecosystem.

Wow 210 boosts and 196 favs. Thank you all so kindly :dizzy_trans:

We had some enquiries in via email and we finally settled on some initial offerings for this beta phase of the project:

First is an instance of your own on an EU based server, which we maintain for you with the latest updates.

You get full access to everything and essentially unlimited users and the option to use external oauth Single Sign On.

This will be 50 GBP per month (with a minimum commitment of 3 months). This is the longer term option that is most supportive of this initiative.

We don't think we can continue this pricing indefinitely so in a slightly 🧀 y sales pitch, we're guaranteeing this for our first 10 or so customers.

Second option: we will setup a demo instance which we will use for testing and we can provide multiple user account.

However this be wiped nightly and won’t have any expectation of uptime and will also be shared with other interested folks.

It would be great if you could make a one off donation of 70 GBP to contribute towards the costs of us spinning this up.

@autonomic Where can I find a short description _how_ the funding differs from the usual ways? I already looked on the 4 websites.

@GeorgB Currently via a donation from Sensorica.

We're looking for early adopters right now who are willing to pay per month.

@autonomic Is there a self-hosted version of the platform?

@trishalynn Yes! By default, La Suite Numerique has examples for Kubernetes deployment, and there are a couple of pull requests open in their repo to add docker-compose deployment.

Or, you can use this configuration we made, either using the Co-op Cloud stack, or integrated with your own Docker Swarm set-up, to get a full system up including backups and production SSL git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/

@autonomic Awesome! My spouse and I were just thinking that we'd like to use a suite like this for our grocery list and the other docs for which we'd normally use the GSuite. I sent him the link to your home page and if we have questions, we'll let y'all know.

@trishalynn thanks so much. We might be able to offer cheaper hosting for small communities in the future.

Wow, I love this @autonomic!

This is really really really great work.

Thank you! ❤️

@tommi Thank you so much 🌈 we all need this

@autonomic Congrats ! Super interesting initiative
