Expanded 'trinity'

MayFirst seems to have a reasonable offer at least for individual members. As a collective maybe a dedicated NextCloud instance would be more desirable?

There’s also the aspect of Local Economy & Language. Most people on earth are in need of communities that speak their mother (or father’s) tongue.

In Barcelona we have a few ethical and social economy cloud providers:

  • CommonsCloud.coop (coordinated by femProcomuns.coop): provides Discourse, NextCloud, Phabricator, LimeSurvey, Zimbra webmail
    • individual members pay 4€/month for 10GB in NextCloud
    • collectives pay 30€/month for their own NextCloud instance with 100 GB included
  • Pangea.org, an association similar to MayFirst, providing email accounts, NextCloud access, …
  • Maadix, providing a server that allows collectives to manage their NextCloud, Mailtrain, WordPress, mail servers, mailman, etc through a grahical webinterface. It is privacy-by-design and the collective manager has root, without having to enter through the commandline. The founding woman runs it as a Ltd company, but is fully committed to free culture for long.

Possibly we could make a table with ethical webapp service providers and accessible ways to use or simply test out each tool. If so, we’d need to include the region/language for sure.
