Why Libera Space¶
Public teams today spread their work across a file share, a mail client, a video tool, a chat and a dozen spreadsheets kept by hand, or hand it to a foreign cloud suite. Libera Space offers a third way: one workplace, as complete as the large suites in daily use, that an administration runs on infrastructure it chooses.
What it brings together¶
| Need | In Libera Space |
|---|---|
| A place for each team | Spaces, reserved to their members |
| Documents, written together | Office documents edited in the browser, with their versions |
| Meetings | A calendar, the papers for each meeting, minutes, the video link |
| Who does what | Task boards, per space and per person |
| Quick writing | Notes, written together live |
| Working offline | The same spaces on a computer, with Libera Suite |
Built with the State's own tools¶
Libera Space doesn't replace what the State already provides. It connects to it, and uses each tool as it is:
- ProConnect to sign in, with the account an agent already has;
- Tchap for a space's conversations;
- Visio for video meetings, with Libera Meet coming alongside.
Principles¶
Sovereign. It runs where you decide, and depends on no service outside your control. Sovereignty.
Open. Open source under the Apache 2.0 licence, open formats for documents, and a whole space exportable at any time.
Accessible. Designed for everyone who works in an administration, following the RGAA. Accessibility.
Simple to run. One application, which a small team can install and look after. Hosting.
Who makes it¶
Libera Space is developed by Abilian, a French company that has built open source collaboration software for public and private organisations since 2012.
