Welcome to the Co-op Cloud technical documentation. It's primarily meant for
|

co-ops and other democratic tech collectives already doing libre software
|
||||
hosting who are interested in the project and thinking about doing some alpha
|
||||
testing.

This project is still [alpha quality software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Alpha). Please take that into consideration if you are thinking about using this system in production. We're working hard to make Co-op Cloud stable. In the meantime, this is a good time to help us out with initial testing, feedback, ideas or [join in with development](/contribute/).

If you're looking for a co-operative or tech collective to host digital services for you using the Co-op Cloud, then please see [the managed hosting](/managed/) page for more.

The Co-op Cloud is still [alpha quality software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Alpha) but you can still work with a co-operative or tech collective to host some part or all of your online digital services with it. Organisations who want to support the project can get in touch with Co-op Cloud service providers via the following list for a quote on what they're looking for and how much it will cost. Service providers can then factor in some percentage of the cost to co-fund the development of this project.

As a movement, we cannot compete with corporate providers in terms of cost and scale. Their network effects and available capital means that no one project, product or organisation can create the required shift to a more widespread public interest technology.
|
||||
|

Our strategy is to mutualise our resources to create this shift. Co-op Cloud is an attempt to create a new shared resource - an open and democratically managed, open standards based, copyleft licensed, libre software infrastructure project.

Technology alone will not save us. Simply deploying libre software is not enough.

## Compensation for contributions
|

Our strategy is to mutualise our resources to facilitate this shift. Co-op Cloud is an attempt to create a new shared resource - an open and democratically managed, open standards based, copyleft licensed, libre software infrastructure project.
|
||||
|
||||
We think that it is important to focus on making the libre software ecosystem sustainable. This has historically [not been the case](https://www.fordfoundation.org/media/2976/roads-and-bridges-the-unseen-labor-behind-our-digital-infrastructure.pdf).

It feels important to contextualise this position. In the words of [LURK](https://lurk.org):

> Big tech and an abusive misunderstanding of free and open source software practices have led us to believe that software production, server maintenance and on-line services should be free as in gratis. However there is no such things as a free lunch and software does not exist in a vacuum. If we want sustainable alternatives and a diverse cultural sector, these alternatives and the humans behind them, need to be supported.

> Without substantial funding for ongoing development and maintenance, these projects will remain contingent upon the exploitation of the free labor of well-meaning individuals, or subject to the whims of people making time for their FLOSS hobby.
|

|
||||
We want to build a flourishing, inclusive, accessible project and paying people for their work (not just writing source code, but other forms of organising and care work too!) has a role to play in that. We think that making it possible to compensate contributors for working on Co-op Cloud is a way to get involved with self-organising sustainability from the start.

We haven't worked this all out. We've opened up an [Open Collective account](https://opencollective/coop-cloud) and we're running this as an "invite only mode" approach. **If you want to make a contribution to Co-op Cloud and you'd like to be compensated, please [come and chat to us first](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/contact/).**
|
||||
From this base, we can focus on the urgent and necessary social organising work that goes beyond the technical question.
