Marlon from MIR gave a great talk at CounterSpy conf featuring Co-op Cloud 🎉

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.

Co-op Cloud launched a public beta in May 2022 and has seen a lot of interest from hosters, hackers and end-users. We are currently in the process of forming our organisational model which help us make decisions collectively and work towards financial stability.

In this talk, we share an update on where we're at, how we got there and where we hope to go in 2023. If you're looking for an overview of the project without diving in to the technical weeds, then this might be for you!
