Taking care of our online services

"De-google-ify Tech Care" is the process of caring for our "De-google-ify Internet" services which started in 2023 (and is set to continue!). We would like to free up time to repair, improve or strengthen these services that we (and you) find indispensable.

Care means human warmth. "De-google-ify Tech Care" also means highlighting all the little hands behind the scenes, who pamper and cajole, whose expertise is essential so that these healthy tools remain accessible to all.

This care time also comes at a price, and that's why we're calling on you!

Tech Care 2024: what's in it for you?

We've already done a lot of pampering this year, and now it's time to put the spotlight back on it!

Framalab

Framasoft's laboratory

Framalab is our (almost!) secret laboratory, where you can test the software we evaluate before we make it available to the public.

Focus: Framapetitions, a… petitions service!

There are many petition platforms, but they are rarely based on free code. These platforms are also widely suspected of using your personal details (name, email, cause supported) for purposes other than adding your signature to a petition.

For several years now, we've been supporting an open-source project called Pytition. It's functional, but still needs a lot of work on the visual aspects. Supporting us financially means that we can spend time working with the original developer to improve Pytition, in collaboration with the original developer, and in the medium term, to open an online store, in the medium term, to open up a truly free and open petitions platform, with a guarantee that your data will not be used for commercial purposes.
