title: Federate all the things
description: Autonomic launches new Matrix server

# Federate all the things
The chat space is a mess. Between your proprietary behemoths such as Facebook Messenger, Slack and WhatsApp to centralised libre apps such as [Signal](https://signal.org/) and Telegram (which is not fully open source), there are way too many platforms to choose from.
So we decided to add another option :)
At Autonomic, we are fans of decentralisation and so we keep a close eye on developments in libre messaging space. We've tried them all. [XMPP](https://xmpp.org/), [Delta Chat](https://delta.chat/en/) and [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) and even more esoteric projects. While they all have their place, we have been really impressed with the Matrix project, especially after they introduced [end to end encryption by default](https://matrix.org/blog/2020/05/06/cross-signing-and-end-to-end-encryption-by-default-is-here) earlier this year.
Matrix is a federated protocol that could be used for a wide variety of uses but we are primarily seeing it being used for messaging. A Matrix server can be federated with all the other public Matrix servers and you can speak to anyone or join any room on any of these servers, just as they can join your public room. There are a [multitude of different apps](https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now) for every taste and a bunch of bridges into different networks such as [IRC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat) and pretty much all the apps we already mentioned.
For a lot of our existing clients, group chat is an important part of their organisation. We have previously been deploying [RocketChat](https://rocket.chat/) which is fully featured team chat server that we think is even better than Slack. This works well for some, however we found that a whole RocketChat server was kind kind of overkill for small organisations. Sometimes they only needed one or two channels and perhaps they wanted a mixture of public and private channels and they don't need single-sign-on.

title: How we make decisions
description: Our collective's horizontal decision making process
image: trees.jpg
category: decision making, democracy
date: 2021-01-21

# How we make decisions
In Autonomic, we make decisions collectively, while also attempting to empower autonomous action by individual workers.
We designed our decision making process using decision making tools we had experienced through participation in various horizontal organisations. We hope this tool is useful to others in the struggle for a better world.
Our decisions can be split intro three categories: **Small, Medium and Large**.
## 1) Small - Get on and do the thing
- No one cares.
- Made by an individual within the co-op.
- Could be in any area.
- Up to individual co-op members to decide if they should just make the decision, or share it with the rest of the co-op to seek consensus.
## 2) Medium - Consensus pending objections
- About admin and infrastructure.
- Doesn't have an effect on the direction or operation of the co-op.
- Give a deadline: unless anyone objects or asks for more time by then, it goes ahead.
- The deadline must reasonable (a week by default).
- If any member of the co-op thinks it's a Large decision, achieve Maximum Consensus™ (see below).
## 3) Large - Maximum Consensus™
- Important decisions affecting the operation, direction, working conditions and finances of the co-op.
- Consensus voting: addressing any concerns.
- Can be requested by any member of the co-op for any decision.
- Input from every co-op member.
- Whoever proposes Large decisions is responsible for chasing up members for votes.
- Votes can be in favour, against, abstain (stand aside) or block.
- One member, one vote.
## Process
For Medium and Large decisions:
1. Write up a proposal in a [HedgeDoc pad](https://hedgedoc.org/).
2. Link to the proposal on the proposals page on our wiki.
3. Announce the decision in the #announcements channel of our internal chat.
4. List the decision on the Decisions page on our wiki.
4. Announce the result in #announcements and record it on the Decisions
page of our wiki.
## Proposal format
(For Medium and Large decisions).
- What you want to change.
- Who it affects.
- Size (Medium / Large).
- Deadline.
- What chat channel you want discussion to happen in.
## Example proposal
> @all I'd like to propose (Medium|Large) decision XXX, to write our name as
"aUtOnOmIc cöööpERATIVE" in all our public communications.
>
> Deadline for votes is DEADLINE let me know if you need more time to vote than that.
>
> Please send absolutely any and all replies in #CHANNEL, not here 🙏
>
> 👍 this message for "enthusiastic consent", 🤷 for "stand aside" or 👎 if you need to indicate your extreme disagreement with this idea.
>
> 👇 VOTES HERE
## Further resources
Extra information about decision making processes in co-operatives can be found on the [Seeds for Change website](https://seedsforchange.org.uk/resources).

title: The Co-operative Cloud
description: Libre software infrastructure without re-inventing the wheel
image: coop-cloud.png
category: coop, co-op, cloud, docker, swarm, libre-software, hosting,
date: 2021-03-01
---
Running [libre software] apps and infrastructure for ourselves and our clients is central to what we do at Autonomic. Now, after a year of work, we're stoked to share our "Co-op Cloud" project with the world. We want to make it easier for others to join the party, ditch corporate spyware, and make their tools [sustainable, transparent and private].
## Why a new tool?
We started out using [Cloudron], which provides a very simple-to-use web interface for deploying libre software apps like Nextcloud, Mediawiki, and Rocket.chat with only a few clicks.
Cloudron allowed us to radically reduce our initial and ongoing server costs. We didn't need to maintain a separate server for each service and clients apps could share computing resources whilst containerisation was still allowing us meeting their data privacy needs. Consequently, we've been able to take on many more "solidarity clients", people doing important work, but on a shoestring budget.
As time has gone on, though, we've had a few moments when we questioned our reliance on Cloudron, and whether it was a sustainable choice for us and for our clients. We came to realise:
- Core parts of the system officially [became proprietary] software. This rang alarm bells for us about its long-term future.
- The work to package the available apps is done [entirely by the Cloudron team itself] and doesn't re-use the existing rich ecosystem of libre software packaging work that's already being done. This seems like a big risk. If Cloudron UG, the company behind Cloudron, goes under, someone or some entity would need to take on that laborious, technically specific and non-transferable packaging work or we'd quickly be leaving ourselves and our clients running outdated and unmaintained software.
- Some aspects of Cloudron's architecture were causing problems. Requiring each app to be a single Docker image makes common application deployment configurations impossible (as far as we know, nobody has yet managed to get Mediawiki's visual editor working in Cloudron, for example).
- Not being able to delegate user management to specific groups has made it hard for us to use Cloudron's Single Sign On system with groups who manage their own users.
- Cloudron's central paradigm is focussed on "non-technical" users with the nice web front end for managing apps. However, we found our clients don't actually need to know what "domain name" or "storage volumes" are. That's why they pay us for support. They want it to "just work". Using an interface designed for non-technical users is not suitable for technical users and adds a lot of bloat.
- Cloudron is a bit of a [black box](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_box). When something breaks, it breaks hard and requires technical users to respond and investigate and then fix the issues.
- Cloudron doesn't encourage collective and public collaboration on configuration files.
- We have a general fear of centralising so much of our core business on a commercial entity, which could change its prices at any time and have a massive effect on our ability to operate.
## A New Hope
So, around the end of 2019, we tried to map out a few core principles of a system which might work a lot like Cloudron, but give us more guarantees that we can depend on. We started calling the new project Co-op Cloud. Here are some of the principles we identified:
- Always be available under [copyleft licenses] to retain the shared work as part of the [commons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons). We shouldn't rely on creating [artificial scarcity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_scarcity) as a business model.
- Work with existing libre software communities who are already packaging and publishing their software (Nextcloud, Gitea, Mediawiki, Rocket.chat, the list goes on and on...). We want to be involved in their community spaces and build bridges between infrastructure, software development and end-users.
- Based on standardised technologies. Any new tools we write should only add a thin layer of usability on top of existing solutions.
- Place democratic governance at the core of the project. We want to collaborate as much as possible with other co-operatives to build up effective decision-making structures so we can all rely on this project far into the future.
- Focus on meeting the needs of small hosting providers with technical workers in order to provide a solid service for their clients.
- Encourage the creation of a configuration commons. Innovations based on Co-op Cloud can easily be shared and worked on collectively.
In our spare time (partly funded by income from working for our wonderful clients 😀) we've been putting the pieces together; and after a year of work (including two "back to the drawing board" moments), we're ready to launch an [alpha version](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle) of Co-op Cloud to the public.
## Co-op Cloud public alpha
Co-op Cloud is a simple packaging format using existing [open standards] to build a catalogue of apps, and a command-line client to read the catalogue and deploy those apps.
If you'd like to learn more about Co-op Cloud, please read [our documentation], where we explain the decisions we've made so far in more depth. What technologies we're using, how we fit into the existing ecosystem, ways to contribute, what apps are available and so on.
We've already been deploying Co-op Cloud as part of "dual power" strategy. We use Co-op Cloud to run some of our own and our clients' infrastructure while continuing with Cloudron and other strategies for the time being. We're seeing promising stability and it's been a joy to work with.
## Enter the configuration commons
You can also dive straight in by installing [`abra`, Co-op Cloud's command-line tool].
You can use Co-op Cloud right now to deploy any of our [30+ apps] to your own physical server or virtual server. These include [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/) (for file, calendar, contacts etc) [Rocket.chat](https://rocket.chat/) for instant messaging, [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/) for Single Sign-On, [Statping](https://statping.com/) for service monitoring, and websites using [Wordpress](https://wordpress.org/), [Pelican](https://blog.getpelican.com/), [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/), or static HTML. See the [app catalogue](https://docs.cloud.autonomic.zone/apps/) for more.
Apps deployed via Co-op Cloud have automatic SSL certificates, and many come with pre-configured e-mail, backups, or Single Sign-On options.
See the [getting started guide](https://docs.cloud.autonomic.zone/overview/) to get moving fast.
## Packaging for Co-op Cloud
Packaging new apps for Co-op Cloud is straightforward in most cases: you can re-use an application's own Docker image (or even `docker-compose.yml` file) with minimal changes. We managed to [make a Co-op Cloud version of the Matomo web analytics platform in about 20 minutes]. This standardised architecture also means that nobody using Co-op Cloud is dependent on Autonomic for updates. When a new Wordpress update comes out, you can easily install it yourself or automatically without waiting for us to update some arcane custom Docker image.
## Next steps
At this point, we'd like to invite other worker co-operatives or democratic collectives to take a look at what we're working on and have a chat with us. We have a public matrix room at `#coopcloud:autonomic.zone`. We think a common platform for hosting libre software infrastructure could make a big difference in terms of what we're able to offer as a movement.
If you're interested in getting involved with Co-op Cloud development, or if you'd like help trying out Co-op Cloud hosted services for yourself or your organisation, please [get in touch].

The Co-op Cloud is starting to come into its own and we've decided to move our posts over to a dedicated [new and shiny blog](https://coopcloud.tech/blog/). We are working on opening up shared ownership of the project and want to create digital spaces where Autonomic is not implicitly having some sort of gate keeping role. We'll be writing regularly about our progress over there. We've also made new [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Coop_Cloud) and [Mastodon](https://social.coop/@coopcloud) which can you can follow along. That's all for now!

title: Content Priority Guides for Websites
description: What is a Content Priority Guide and how to use it for web development

date: 2021-08-16

A Content Priority Guide (CPG) are a simpler and faster version of [wireframes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website_wireframe) that isn't focussed on design or the actual and encourage a client to not get bogged down in details. We found this exercise, gives the client and ourselves a clear and concise map of what the site is going to look like at an earliest stages of the project as possible. This is especially useful for smaller projects where there isn't budget or the client isn't very experienced with commissioning web development work.
The content itself can then be worked on referencing the structure and hierarchy laid out in the CPG and if appropriate, the design team and front-end development team will also use the CPG in their work. The common consensus on the site layout created by the CPG allows for a "multi-threaded" approach to the project where different teams are able to work on their respective specialities simultaneously. The CPG can be updated as the project proceeds as long as all teams are aware of the changes.
If a client's budget allows, Autonomic will also do more in depth collaborative processes with our clients but making a CPG together is a great starting point and requires no specialist tools or knowledge.
Below is a sample Content Priority Guide. It was inspired by this [blog post](https://seesparkbox.com/foundry/content_priority_guide) and this [article](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/05/design-process-responsive-age/).
