| A Cooperative Alternative |
The Cooperative Cloud is a platform built by and for worked-owned technology cooperatives which proposes a shared social and technical infrastructure for the operation and management of free software applications. The project was initiated by Autonomic.
The project arose out of the understanding that technology cooperatives continue to struggle to deliver free software solutions without relying on monopolies such as Google, Microsoft and Amazon for technical infrastructure. The contradictions of working with abusive and extractive forces brings the idea of offering an alternative into question.
The technological crisis is a social crisis and therefore building an alternative digital future cannot be done without broad and meaningful cooperation. The Cooperative Cloud project takes as its starting point, the independent free software community standards, tools, approaches and governance methods which cooperatives can make use of as part of offering a real alternative.
