B Corps Are One Piece of a Complex Puzzle

“We needed a differentiator, ” says SSG’s Emi Do. “And unfortunately, our status as a worker co-op doesn’t communicate to the municipalities and regions and states that are reviewing our proposals what our values are and how we are unique in our approach to doing business, and so we needed to have something that demonstrated that.”

Hi folks, we have received feedback about the pricing for our docs.coop instance hosting.

We have decided to drop the price to 30 GBP per month for a small Docs instance.

This comes with an Single Sign On oauth server (such as Keycloak or Authentik).

We think this represents excellent value and will hopefully be enough to support us making this exciting open source Google docs competitor available for the people.

We can offer additional paid support on top of this to integrate further into your existing infrastructure.

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.

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.

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/

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:

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.
