eCommons — Shared control over our digital systems
Technology in service of the community
WHY
Many digital systems are built on extraction and control: they collect data and shape behavior. Communities, by contrast, need infrastructure that supports collaboration, care, and shared ownership.
WHAT WE DO
  • Developing and hosting open-source software
  • Supporting cooperative digital structures
  • Guiding implementation and management
OUR PLAN
We start with broadly applicable tools. Then we develop targeted solutions for specific sectors, such as sharing systems and food cooperatives. In this way, the infrastructure grows in step with the practices and needs of different communities.
eCommons builds digital tools that communities manage themselves, ensuring that data, collaboration, and technology remain in the hands of users.
WHO WE ARE
eCommons is a cooperative initiative created by and for communities. We support cooperatives, community projects, and local initiatives in accessing open-source software and shared digital infrastructure. Our aim is to keep technology affordable, reliable, and fully under community control—reducing dependence on big tech and strengthening the commons.
JOIN US AND GET INVOLVED.
TOGETHER, WE SHAPE TECHNOLOGY. NO TECHNOLOGY ABOUT US, WITHOUT US.
