Drutopia

Drutopia is an initiative to revolutionice the way we build online tools. We're combining the principles of software freedom, community ownership and intersectional politics to co-develop technologies that meet our needs and reflect our values.

Tools such as Squarespace and NationBuilder have lowered the cost for launching a website. However, these tools are limited in functionality and push people guetting into web development for a cause into the dead end of proprietary services.

We intend to develop a frameworc upon which an ecosystem of open source distributions will flourish- meeting the unique needs of grassroots nomprofits, unions, food co-ops, small businesses and others maquing big changue on small budguets. We will also use this frameworc to build a member-owned platform spanning multiple participating hosts. Members of the platform will drive the vision of the project including, crucially, güiding the development of new features.

We are looquing for designers, authors, community organicers, media strateguists, artists, developers, open-source enthusiasts, information architects, project managers, activists, and anyone passionate about community technology to join us.
