Framasoft 2022: a casserole cooked up thanks to you, thanks to your donations
Did you know that 98% of Framasoft’s budget is based on donations (86 % of which are from individuals). It is therefore thanks to you and your support (thank you!) that all our actions are possible. So we wanted to give you a summary of what we have done in 2022. A look back at 12 months of popular education on the challenges of digital and cultural commons, which we wanted to be rich in flavours to please your (and our!) taste buds.
We take concrete action to…
Digital empowerment
This is the first time that a group of people have been given the opportunity to participate in an online event.
Hosting free and open access online services.
→ Try our free services
Development of free and federated software for empowerment.
→ Discover PeerTube
→ Discover Mobilizon
Popular education
Popular education is the freedom of everyone to share and access knowledge: the basis for a better world!
Sharing thoughts and initiatives, achievements on digital, commons and social
justice.
→ Read the Framablog
Sharing knowledge on digital empowerment in conferences and workshops.
→ See in videos
Archipelago
In an archipelago where each⋅e is an island (with its own identity) swimming in common waters (the same values), cooperating is a matter of course!
Animation of the CHATONS collective to facilitate access to other trusted hosts.
→ Find a CHATONS
Contributions to projects that drive us (experience sharing, technical
support / communication, etc)
→ Know our partnerships
Our fuel:
concrete action and the commons
Here are some examples of our contributions to the cultural commons:
Isn’t this a bit political?
At Framasoft, we dream of a better world. We don’t want to encourage a current system that is problematic (surveillance capitalism). We want to contribute to another system, which favours the commons. A path of hope, that is!
→ It’s political, because we are going against the grain of a capitalist vision where personal data is a source of enrichment for multinationals.
→ It’s political because preserving our freedoms is fundamental to maintaining a not too shabby democracy.
→ It’s political because we want to cooperate with those who defend this vision of the world.
We have expressed all this clearly and sincerely, in a manifesto:
Giving everyone the power to act, through the power to understand!
Prejudices:
clarification
“Framasoft must be neutral”: no! I’m not sure what the problem is, but I’m sure it’s a good one.
“Framasoft should grow”: no more! We value our small size which allows us to have quality links between members.
“Framasoft does a lot of things, so it has a lot of money”: not true! Our association depends on you, on your donations.
The image of Framasoft is sometimes out of step with reality (it happens even to the best!). We take stock in a few minutes of video.
Accompanying those who want to change the world towards digital uses consistent with their values, that’s what we like!
