The SELF Platform aims to be the central platform with high quality educational and training materials about Free Software and Open Standards. It is based on world-class Free Software technologies that permit both reading and publishing free materials, and is driven by a worldwide community. The SELF Platform has two main functions. It is simultaneously a knowledge base and a collaborative production facility: On the one hand, it provides information, educational and training materials that can be presented in different languages and forms: from course texts, presentations, e-learning programmes and platforms to tutor software, e-books, instructional and educational videos and manuals. On the other hand, it offers a platform for the evaluation, adaptation, creation and translation of these materials. The production process of such materials is based on the organisational model of Wikipedia. selfproject.eu/de/project
CAcert.org
To create a Non-Profit Certificate Authority; an alternative to the commercial CAs. Many people are currently dissatisfied with the commercial offerings. Many people wish only to connect or share with people they know, or simply secure their webmail from people potentially sniffing their traffic. Why subscribe to a service that is not structured to handle this, and furthermore charges a king’s ransom for the privilege? CAcert Inc., as a community-based project, is not driven by profits – it is driven by the community’s desire for privacy and security. www.cacert.org
