Collective.tools! Ett alternativ för Google Drive, Dropbox och lite annat. Drivs som ett kooperativ. Jag kör tjänsten själv som individ. Funkar bra!

Vad kör ni för alternativ? Köper ni tjänsten, kör gratis någonstans eller hostar?

Does anyone have background/stories on Consul

and Decidim?
https://decidim.org/
Both are free software citizen participation, municipalist platforms deployed by DigidemLab, the parent of #collectivetools

Did I toot about #unhangout? MIT Media Project not-Google-hangouts

The Nextcloud stack of #collectivetools is a timely contrast with what @yaelwrites comments on - not-Slack, not-Zoom.

@mattiasaxell
Thanks Mattias. What's the business status of #collectivetools? A coop under Swedish law? Is startup funding involved?

Is Vinnova much involved in CT? I know a little about them, worked with people there on national innovation systems in the 90s. Or is financial support more at the municipal level?

Likewise, status of Digidem Lab?

@LeoSammallahti #collectivetools video meeting doesn't offer recording. Otherwise, in my limited experience it holds up OK in comparison to Zoom, may be a tad less stable, comms-wise, but acceptable.

@bhaugen
Aha! #collectivetools software is the Nextcloud stack. Kanban app (incl API) is Deck (14day free trial available)
https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/deck
Messaging app is Rocket.chat (free accounts available)

Does this join up with recent discussion here of platform toolkits for organisers, and wider community development aims of social.coop?

looks interesting as a platform. Disroot is coming from the FLOSS direction, platformed toolkits of apps for federating anarcho individuals? CT is coming from #partnerstate #civictech direction - digital infrastructure for municipal collaborations.
Originating in Gothenburg Sweden, riding on the back of local municipal collaborations. Developed in partnership with Swedish national public policy oriented R&D organisation Vinnova.Very Swedish 😀

Does anybody know #collectivetools and where they're coming from?
