OUTCOMEs 2023

We have developed a secure and resilient way to manage our team’s logins, account credentials and passwords so that we can manage this as a team through our asynchronous part time working patterns.

We have new exciting offerings in the form of FOSS applications that we need to make widely known through the CoLab and associated networks so that we may all benefit from this.

We’ve successfully provided fast support to CoLab members who rely on digital circle services.

september 2024 update

We have a member of the team stepping back and another one being onboarded.

We continue to provide the CoLab with services including emails, web hosting, nextcloud and openproject for funded projects. After a review of the performance and user feedback we will be discontinuing openproject and will be testing a new tool in the coming quarter before we make the switch to leantime.

We have been assisting the communications offer and the communications and engagement team in their efforts to update the website.https://www.perma.earth/
