"De-google-ify Tech Care" is the process of caring for our "De-google-ify Internet" services which started in 2023 (and is set to continue!). We would like to free up time to **repair, improve or strengthen** these services that we (and you) find indispensable. Care means human warmth. "De-google-ify Tech Care" also means **highlighting all the little hands behind the scenes**, who pamper and cajole, whose expertise is essential so that these healthy tools remain accessible to all. **This care time also comes at a price, and that's why we're calling on you!**
## Tech Care 2024: what's in it for you?

## Focus: Framapetitions, a… petitions service! There are many petition platforms, but they are rarely based on free code. These platforms are also widely suspected of using your personal details (name, email, cause supported) for purposes other than adding your signature to a petition. For several years now, we've been supporting an open-source project called Pytition. It's functional, but still needs a lot of work on the visual aspects. Supporting us financially means that we can spend time working with the original developer to improve Pytition, in collaboration with the original developer, and in the medium term, to open an online store, in the medium term, to open up a truly free and open petitions platform, with a guarantee that your data will not be used for commercial purposes.
No! A donation to Framasoft supports all our actions. Donations to our association fund all our projects. The care work that we are planning with De-google-ify Tech Care is a long-term operation that it is impossible for us to quantify exactly. This care is human, so our calculations can only be estimates for a day's work when ‘everything is going well’! We know that additional maintenance will cost us time, and therefore money. We therefore estimate that in 2024 De-google-ify Tech Care will cost us €60,000 more than in a year when this care would not be a priority (‘estimate’, because it's very hard to put a precise figure on a care project), and we're challenging you to raise the money in 3 weeks, between now and 2 July.
