What we are certain of however is that the eco system of libre software has enough tools to meet the needs of most organisations. There's a standard set of apps they come up again and again (feel free to share your experiences in the replies).

Single Sign On - Keycloak, Authentik (passkeys for passwordless login anyone)?
File storage - @nextcloud
Password management - Vaultwarden
Wiki - There's loads of options here
Email - We're currently reselling email from our co-op friends at Web Architects
Website - Wordpress, static site etc
Messaging - @matrix @RocketChat etc

Once you get this stack integrated, and your org trained, it's really powerful! It's also super resource efficient. You can run it on a single server (or spread it onto multiple small servers).

We hope that gives you an idea of what we can offer.

Interested in migrating away from big tech? :fediverse:

We can maintain your desired infrastructure on hosting of your choice as long as it meets our standards (Linux, Docker, stable networking etc).

We can even help you setup and manage your own on-premises servers for total data sovereignty.

All of the services we promote are open source and we absolutely hate lock in and drawbridging (paywalling features). All our infra is non provider specific so you can rest assured knowing that your infrastructure will last and can be maintained easily by others that aren't us.

:TwinPines: "The proven power of collaboration between unions and worker co-ops has guided Co-op Cincy since its founding in 2011. Dedicated to building and supporting Greater Cincinnati’s growing network of worker-owned businesses, their work is inspired by the business model of Mondragon International, the world’s largest federation of worker cooperatives."

I've been afraid to publish this for almost a year. It's about who really takes risks at work, and who gets rewarded for them. Not a safe topic when you're building a company. But staying quiet felt worse.

I had such a lovely day. I woke up, went to the gym an hour before opening, went back home and never went back to the gym. But I did advance some projets. Bought a bike, dishwasher, apartment furniture. All through worker coops, nonprofits & individuals! Then saw an amazing play a friend recommended. Really, truly thankful as hell. Also thankful my work paid me early for Xmas and I could do this stuff. (Even if I give 0 shits about Xmas)

Honoured to have been among the nominees at the West Regional Skills Awards and with good company, Ainslie Peters of CREW, who collaborated with me on a fantastic workshop this year on Worker Co-operatives in the Games Sector.

Looking forward to continue building on the success and future collaborations with CREW and others in the year to come.

"This video by Global Communities presents Kigro Recyclers, a new youth-led waste management cooperative in Nairobi, whose success demonstrates the worker cooperative model’s potential in Kenya and Africa for job creation, poverty reduction and environmental improvement. It offers a viable path to formalising Kenya’s informal workforce and promoting inclusive economic development."
