Year of the Co-ops

[Read on Ethical Revolution]

Did you know the UN has made 2025 ‘International year of co-operatives’?

Co-ops are democratically owned businesses or organisations, with the co-op’s members in control to meet their shared needs. The members may be customers, employees, residents or suppliers.

All co-ops the world over shares the same 7 principles and 10 values.

Around 40% of the UK’s 7000 co-ops are consumer owned – think credit unions, high street Co-op supermarkets and Your Co-op, while over 350 are worker owned e.g. Essential (Food & Household specialists), Footprint Workers Co-op (Riso printers), Go Free Range (Software development revolutionaries: @freerange), Suma (Food, household, toiletries), Veggies (Catering company: @Veggies) and workers.coop (Federation of worker-led cooperatives: @workers_coop). Others can be multi-stakeholder owned such as Webarchitects (Cloud hosting services).

Examples of international co-ops are cosocial (Non profit social media platform: @coop – Canada), Limeleaf (Software developers: @limeleaf – USA), Nubo (Ethical mail & cloud services: @nubo_coop – Belgium), Ouvaton (Hosting & software services: @ouvaton – France) and Society (Digital technologies: @sociality – Greece).

The Labour government did say in its pre-election manifesto that it would double the size of the co-op sector and mutual economy in the UK, but as with many manifesto pledges I wouldn’t hold your breath.

The 10 official co-operative ‘values’ are:

  1. Caring for others
  2. Democracy
  3. Equity
  4. Equality
  5. Honesty
  6. Openness
  7. Self help
  8. Self responsibility
  9. Solidarity
  10. Social responsibility

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.

Unlock collaborative document editing without the oligarchs.

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.

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.

We're thrilled to announce our new project:
https://docs.coop/

Building on the great work of Suite Numerique (https://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.
