Where it is heading¶

Libera Space grows in steps. Each one ends with something people can do that they couldn't before, and is judged by a single question: do the people using it find that it does the job? The steps below give the order of the work. They have no dates.

A team's daily work¶

Spaces, documents written together, notes, tasks, meetings, sharing, search and the drive on the desktop become solid enough for a pilot team to run its documents and tasks on Libera Space every day, on real infrastructure. This is the step under way.

Mail, calendar and contacts¶

The workplace takes in correspondence as well: a mailbox, a full calendar and contacts sit beside the spaces, so that invitations, minutes and letters live where the work is.

Moving in, and running it¶

An organisation brings its existing documents, mail and permissions across from the suite it uses today. One console administers its users, spaces and quotas.

Communication in real time¶

Large meetings start from a space, with Libera Meet built on Galène, a video server developed in France that holds meetings of hundreds of people. Messages go through Tchap, and telephony through a partner.

Organised work¶

Teams publish internal sites, collect forms and route approvals. Each document is kept as long as the rules require, no shorter and no longer.

Any device¶

People reach the same work wherever they are: on a phone, on a laptop without a network, on a virtualised desktop.

Demanding environments¶

Libera Space passes external audits, and meets the needs of hospitals and other regulated services.

Shaping it¶

The best way to influence where Libera Space goes is to use it and say what is missing. Organisations that want to take part in pilots can contact Abilian.
