General Discussions

The co-op board has made a motion to empower the Tech Ops Working Group to move services to fully Canadian owned businesses.

We’re going to collect research and share other progress in public here on the Public Wiki and in General Discussions.

If you’d like to participate and share research, you can sign up for an account here on the CoSocial Discourse forum.

On social media, please use the tag #ElbowsUpTech — we’ll use the same tag here in the forum to collect info elbowsuptech

We have some existing pages like Canadian Tech Service Providers:

And one highlighting co-ops:

You can start by introducing yourself in this discussion thread, including a tech service you are looking for or a Canadian offering you have to suggest.

We’ll likely have some group calls, split off dedicated work for certain types of services (eg email providers), and generally share a promote what we find.

Elbows up!

I found an S3 compatible provider https://e3.eazybackup.com/

Haven’t looked into it more so stashing for now.

Glad I found this. Have a number of clients in the Canadian legal space that are increasingly expressing interest in moving away from US providers. Tough to find an on-par equivalent for providers like Cloudflare or DigitalOcean but very much on the hunt.
