Our Work
Archiving
We package software for digital libaries. We maintain various archives and mirrors initiated by our members, and the people we collaborate with.
Storage
As part of our archival work we develop and maintain software for long-term data storage.The standardisation of the Encoding for Robust Immutable Storage (ERIS) was undertaken by the members of our and other federated coops.
ERIS specifies an encoding for the storage of immutable content that is optimised for interoperability between application and is independent of transport protocol.
We actively maintain multiple implementations of the ERIS standard.
Networking
We develop infrastructure for physical and logical mesh networks. The wcoord (wireless-coordination) project aims to create a standard management system for groups of networked devices by integrating with core components of the OpenWrt embedded operating system.Our members are veterans of the Hyperboria overlay network and participants in the Yggdrasil network. We maintain Yggdrasil transit nodes on multiple continents.
Consulting
The co-op's members provide a diverse array of consulting services. Ranging from software systems integration, to web development, as well as software packaging (especially for NixOS) and Continuous Integration & Deployment.
