My wife runs a small non-profit (<5 people) and wants my help to get them off Google Workspace for Nonprofits. They mainly use email, collaborative docs, calender and drive. I have limited spoons so the simpler the migration, the better. Any suggestions?

Options I've come across so far are #Proton, #Infomaniak, #Zoho and #NextCloud. Are any of these better/easier than the others? Happy to pay, but budget is not unlimited. I've a little experience with Zoho, but am not sure how good its privacy credentials are?

We are based in Australia but the host doesn't need to be here (EU or Switzerland, I guess).

Did you know Tuta offers discount plans for NGOs?

We spoke to the Committee for Justice, a Swiss-based Organization who use Tuta Mail as their end-to-end email provider.

Update. The #EuropeanCouncil just adopted the #OpenScience proposal anticipated earlier this month (this thread, above). No #embargoes. No #APCs. #Nonprofit publishing. #OpenLicenses. #OpenInfrastructure. consilium.europa.eu/en/press/p…

While this is not yet policy, it's a weighty recommendation to the Commission and member states.

This is big. No #embargoes. No #APCs.

"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.

In a move that could send shockwaves through commercial scholarly #publishing, the positions are due to be adopted by the Council of the EU member state governments later this month."
