|
<p>Autonomic is a worker co-operative. That means we are owned and run by our
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers and not by bosses or investors. We make our decisions collectively
|
|
|
|
|
|
using consensus. We are committed to a set of basic principles of working on
|
|
|
|
|
|
projects for social good. We reject destructive and unsustainable practices
|
|
|
|
|
|
within the tech industry.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As individuals, we have become increasingly concerned with the levels of
|
|
|
|
|
|
surveillance carried by nation states and corporations. Everyone deserves the
|
|
|
|
|
|
fundamental right to privacy and safety online as well as in the physical
|
|
|
|
|
|
world. We seem to be moving ever closer to a total reliance upon centralised
|
|
|
|
|
|
services that mine our data for profit and are run in anything but our best
|
|
|
|
|
|
interest as users.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There is another way. The philosophy of <a href="https://fsfe.org/about/basics/freesoftware.en.html">free software</a> allows for development
|
|
|
|
|
|
guided not by profit alone, but instead by the desires and inspiration of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
developers and users. Rather than subjugating users, it aims to empower users
|
|
|
|
|
|
by making software source code available for anyone to examine, modify or
|
|
|
|
|
|
share. We are committed to building the software commons by making as much of
|
|
|
|
|
|
our code available under free software licences as possible.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As the internet becomes ubiquitous in our everyday lives, we must consider the
|
|
|
|
|
|
technologies that we utilise in order to communicate. We must all have the
|
|
|
|
|
|
ability to discuss and collaborate without being spied upon or our personal
|
|
|
|
|
|
information sold to the highest bidder. Autonomic are committed to providing a
|
|
|
|
|
|
platform for progressive projects and ideas that require accessible and modern
|
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure to thrive and grow, whilst preserving our client’s privacy and
|
|
|
|
|
|
protecting their data.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="privacy">Privacy</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>We seek to minimise data collection and retention wherever possible. If you
|
|
|
|
|
|
don’t need it, don’t collect it.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>We will utilise and recommend encryption wherever possible, especially if it is
|
|
|
|
|
|
end to end encryption and has been well tested in real life scenarios by
|
|
|
|
|
|
non-technical users.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>We believe that unrestricted and uncensored access to the internet is a human
|
|
|
|
|
|
right and we should all resist any attempts to censor the sharing of knowledge
|
|
|
|
|
|
and experiences that helps build greater cooperation between peoples around the
|
|
|
|
|
|
world.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="transparency">Transparency</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>We don’t give you any crap. If something goes wrong, we’ll let you know and
|
|
|
|
|
|
seek to communicate with our clients and the public in an effective manner.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>We are committed to using free (as in freedom) software wherever possible and
|
|
|
|
|
|
seek to contribute back to the upstream projects we rely on where practical.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>We engage in ethical processes to avoid working with any organisations that are
|
|
|
|
|
|
racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist or otherwise engage in oppressive
|
|
|
|
|
|
behaviour.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="sustainability">Sustainability</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As a worker co-operative, we aim to grow in a sustainable way. This means not
|
|
|
|
|
|
taking venture capital or risky loans. We build this the smart way, through
|
|
|
|
|
|
hard work. We are always learning and studying as we go.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>We are committed to learning more about about the ecological impact of
|
|
|
|
|
|
technology. Whether that be the energy used by data centres or the components
|
|
|
|
|
|
in our computing devices.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>We will engage with the wider co-operative movement and work together to grow
|
|
|
|
|
|
our sector and begin to build a new world in the ashes of the old.</p>

|
|
<p>We hope this basic statement of principles has given you an idea of where we
|
|
|
|
|
|
are coming from and perhaps where we will be heading. The plan is to revisit
|
|
|
|
|
|
these ideas as we grow and access the impact of this project. We hope you will
|
|
|
|
|
|
be a part of this adventure.</p>
