#Metallica @ Santa Clara, CA
So, if you are also in this concert say Hi to me, I'm the guy with gray hair, gray glasses, wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans, my kid is probably around me.
#Metallica @ Santa Clara, CA
What's different for me? Besides the obvious on how old Metallica members are: now my own kid is with me, they were not born the last time I was in a concert, so my teenager is joining my inner teenager.
Turns out #Metallica is touring on 'murica, and now I'm back to one of their concerts here at #SFBayArea.
The images are from the last time I saw them: June 2009. Yes 16 years ago.

Juneteenth Explained To White People, by Josh Johnson

They teach you about the Alamo. But they don't teach you about the Nueces massacre. At the start of the civil war, almost a hundred armed German Texans (who opposed slavery♥️🙏🏿) tried to flee South to Mexico, so that they could make it over to New Orleans. The Confederate soldiers caught them and massacred them.
Robstown in Nueces County, was one of the last places to begrudgingly give up slavery 2 years after the emancipation proclamation.
This is the logo of the Robstown football team today.🤡
We're thrilled to announce our new project:
https://docs.coop/
Building on the great work of Suite Numerique (https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/home/), we are offering an opportunity to be part of a new collaborative Docs platform as a service, that provides an ethical alternative to Google Docs, Office 365, Notion etc.
Docs is the result of a joint effort lead by the French 🥖 (DINUM) and German 🥨 (ZenDiS) governments which represents a paradigm shift in the way open source software is funded.
It's early days and the project is still in beta but we have published an early version of a @coopcloud recipe (https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/lasuite-docs) that makes it easier to deploy Docs for smaller organisations (the La Suite deployment has apparently approx 15,000 users).
We are offering managed Docs instances with full support provided by us. Hosted in the EU by a worker owned tech co-operative.
No bosses, no CEOs and we pay all our taxes.
There are some missing features as the upstream project is still in beta, however we feel with the sustainable funding model the project has, it's only going to get better and better.
The main features that are coming soon that you need to know about are:
- No document import (you'd have to copy and paste)
- No sub-folders (it's one big list of documents)
Here is their roadmap: https://github.com/orgs/numerique-gouv/projects/13/views/11
Here is our TODO list: https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/lasuite-docs/issues
This is a fully open source and welcoming community.
If you are interested in testing a docs.coop instance, please get in touch: boop@autonomic.zone
We can't offer the same loss leader mega scale prices as the USian tech mega corps but we do offer full control and privacy over your tech services and a thriving co-operative and public sector partnership that is tackling one of the most pressing missing tools in the #FOSS ecosystem.
Wow 210 boosts and 196 favs. Thank you all so kindly 
We had some enquiries in via email and we finally settled on some initial offerings for this beta phase of the project:
First is an instance of your own on an EU based server, which we maintain for you with the latest updates.
You get full access to everything and essentially unlimited users and the option to use external oauth Single Sign On.
This will be 50 GBP per month (with a minimum commitment of 3 months). This is the longer term option that is most supportive of this initiative.
We don't think we can continue this pricing indefinitely so in a slightly 🧀 y sales pitch, we're guaranteeing this for our first 10 or so customers.
Second option: we will setup a demo instance which we will use for testing and we can provide multiple user account.
However this be wiped nightly and won’t have any expectation of uptime and will also be shared with other interested folks.
It would be great if you could make a one off donation of 70 GBP to contribute towards the costs of us spinning this up.

@trishalynn Yes! By default, La Suite Numerique has examples for Kubernetes deployment, and there are a couple of pull requests open in their repo to add docker-compose deployment.
Or, you can use this configuration we made, either using the Co-op Cloud stack, or integrated with your own Docker Swarm set-up, to get a full system up including backups and production SSL https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/lasuite-docs
@GeorgB Currently via a donation from Sensorica.
We're looking for early adopters right now who are willing to pay per month.
