PublicSpaces Information

Our mission: We are reclaiming the internet as a force for the common good and advocate a new internet that strengthens the public domain. Read our manifesto to see the values we want to see at the core of our digital lives. Our work: We are adopting and supporting the development of a software ecosystem based on our values. One of our key activities is developing a framework of digital quality marks, that technically validates the code and tooling of a website or software application with our values. We call these signs of merit our ‘Public Badges’. Our goal: We are committed to accelerating the development of an alternative software ecosystem that serves the common interest and does not seek profit. Our coalition: We are twenty parties in public media, cultural heritage, festivals, museums, education and health care.
