Thanks goes to `@p4u1`, member of [Klasse & Methode](https://klasse-methode.it/), who developed the new `abra app move` feature! It does what it says on the tin - it allows operators to simply and easily transfer a deployed app from one server to another. This is a very common task, and making it easier is an important step forward for supporting server portability.
## Resist Tech Monopolies: Creating an Internet For The People
[Resist Tech Monopolies](https://resisttechmonopolies.online/PointsOfUnity/) have published and [shared a zine](/pdf/RTM-CreatingAnInternetForThePeople.pdf) which we would like to signal boost! It briefly sets out a local and international analysis of the issues society faces with technology and invites people to join the struggle.
> We don't need to copy the current function of profit-driven internet. We needt to imagine alternatives that serve our needs and make us thrive as communities, not consumers. "**Failure of imagination produces practical failures**" and our ability to imagine an alternative is what sets us up for success.
## New federation members
We are delighted to welcome [Resist Tech Monopolies](https://resisttechmonopolies.online/PointsOfUnity/) as newest member of the Federation ([`R032`](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/032/#details)) :clap: We can also happily report that both [Movement Infrastructure Research](https://mirnet.org/) ([`R027`](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/027/)) and [Red Abya Yala](https://abyayala.sutty.nl/) ([`R028`](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/028/)) have become members :love_letter: This follows our [previous update](https://coopcloud.tech/blog/new-year-status-update-25/) earlier this year where we had already begun to make friends and were deeply impressed by their work. Welcome comrades!

> Data Autonomy: Counter-Surveillance Strategies for Civil Society
>
> The surveillance apparatus in the West is going critical, and civil society is not prepared for the fallout. Political leadership is explicitly targeting NGOs and social movements using surveillance capabilities that have been perfected over the past decade. This talk will evaluate the merits and limitations of different counter-surveillance approaches from the vantage point of grassroots organizers, and go beyond the stock advice of “use Signal and a VPN” to offer proposals for defeating state surveillance through technical infrastructure development and political organization.

> 2. Everything about Coop-Cloud and KolliCloud

> In the second presentation, we opened the toolbox for open infrastructures: How does Coop Cloud work, what is KolliCloud based on, and how can associations and groups benefit from it? We provided practical insights into container technologies, recipes for FOSS applications, and the goal of advancing self-determined, sustainable, and community-organized hosting.

> Platform Surveillance and Data Autonomy
>
> How can we gain meaningful control over data in an era where instant collaboration and "cloud-based" applications are the norm? Why did the early internet dream of radically distributed networks turn into the centralized architecture of 2025? We will look at the infrastructure of the modern web - from humming server racks to law enforcement surveillance portals - and explore what it takes technically and politically to build autonomous data platforms for the needs of today's social movements.

> Autonomous Infrastructure

> The autonomous infrastructure track will explore how to build community-controlled systems that provide the tools necessary for everyday living and organizing. Students will learn how to set up a server and host open-source versions of widely used platforms like google drive, with an eye towards security & privacy. We will also investigate systems with which we still struggle to regain autonomy and the risks they pose such as phone networks, ISPs, cloud computing platforms, and social media.
