[Framaspace](@:link.space) is our alternative to the ‘Big Tech’ clouds (Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, Dropbox, etc). Free, but reserved for small associations and Framaspace is based on open source software [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/). Our aim is to make these cloud spaces more welcoming for people discovering Nextcloud for the first time, by helping them to get to grips with the tool or by facilitating the migration of their existing data to Framaspace. At the same time, your donations will allow us to explore the possibility of increasing the functionalities of Framaspace by adding, for example, accounting or membership management tools via the integration of the [Paheko](https://paheko.cloud/) software.
[Mypads](https://mypads.framapad.org/) is a plugin that lets you manage your collaborative documents within [Framapad](@:link.pad). It lets you create folders, place documents (‘pads’) in them, share these folders with others, or make them private. Today we're announcing a number of improvements to this plugin: improved navigation, global search in folders and pad names, etc. This could well be just the first phase of improvements to Mypads, and even Framapad. But of course this will depend on your support.
We are not climatoseptics. We believe that global warming is the mother of all battles. We believe that the response to climate change is first and foremost a political one, and we are irritated to see the extent to which public policies are primarily geared towards individual action, sometimes in very guilt-inducing ways, on individual actions. However, in order to deal with a problem properly and respond appropriately, it can be useful to have a clear understanding of the issues at stake, as well as the levers on which to act. With this in mind, Framasoft, in partnership with the [Labos 1point5 research group](https://labos1point5.org), hopes to offer, in the medium term, an online application to assess the carbon footprint of one's association (as well as a simulator to see the impact of each lever that can be activated).
