France's largest free software organisation @Framasoft has just launched a crowdfunding campaign for an open federated events tool, Mobilizon:

https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

Mobilizon would replace Facebook Events and similar closed services.

It would use ActivityPub, so people would be able to organise events on the Fediverse.

You can also follow its Mastodon account here:

CryptPad is a free open online document editing system, and a much more private alternative to Google Docs.

It's designed around privacy, with a "zero knowledge" system where no one except the document owner knows what is in a document.

Their site is here:

https://cryptpad.fr

You can follow them on the Fediverse here:

@cryptpad

You can use their service, or host your own instance.

Ruffin, les boules Quies et le «core business»

Les mots de start-up utilisés par les élus de la majorité disent beaucoup du monde auquel ils appartiennent.

We forgot to mentiion that the release notes for CryptPad 2.18.0 (codenamed Sloth) were posted behind schedule.

Check them out on GitHub (https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/releases/tag/2.18.0).

The short version is that you can use [TOC] in markdown mode to insert a table-of-contents. Give it a try!

Like with previous FB privacy apology posts, this one is full of promises to #respectprivacy this time, but unless they change how they *make money*, any promises are empty. They'll still have to capture and sell user data to keep the lights on. #followthemoney
