Our network is the engine of continuity, diversity and the people power that is truly required to create real change in the field of digital technology today. We welcome everyone who shares affinity with [our vision of democratic technology](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/intro/strategy/) and can abide by our [Code of Co-operation](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/code-of-coop/). -Our network is dedicated to building the future today, realising a decentralised and widespread democratic technology for everyone. When we say democratic technology, we mean a technology which is not built in the service of private interest and monopoly. We are speaking of a technology which emerges from elements of democracy: bottom-up decision making, social need, community ownership and ecological thinking. Our aspiration is a technology which is built in the service of social justice, equality and collective freedom. - Coop Cloud is managed by an international [federation (CCF)](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/proposals/federation/) of over 20 democratic technology collectives including small-scale hosters, worker-owned cooperatives and nonprofit organizations based in Latin America, Australia, North America and Europe. The CCF is a living example of a constructive alternative to the BDFL (Benevolant Dictator For Life) model of software production. The CCF stands in opposition to the BDFL model and proposes itself as an alternative-in-progress: Collective Self-management For Life (CSFL). Everything created under the Co-op Cloud banner is shared in the open and copyleft licensed for the benefit of all.
