The Université Populaire Libre, Ouverte, Autonome, et Décentralisée aims to contribute (on our scale) to making society more just and our world more liveable, by focusing on the training of citizens by citizens. - [Discover UPLOAD's projects](https://upload.framasoft.org)
Our way of expression is to do. We feel useful in action and believe that our ways of acting reveal our values. We see Framasoft as a prefiguration association: we present our achievements as prototypes that anyone can appropriate to reproduce them on another scale, or adapt them to other constraints.
Clause *“The law is the law, and we don’t want to end up in jail”*: you must respect the law (whether it is well made or silly), otherwise your account will be deleted;
Des Livres en Communs is shaking up the codes of publishing by proposing, following a call for projects, a grant to authors upstream of the writing process, and then a publication of the book under an open licence. The first book is currently being created. - [Learn more about our publishing house](https://deslivresencommuns.org/)
Clause *“Thank you for being polite and respectful with your platform neighbors”*: you must respect other users by being civic-minded and politeness. If not, your content, even your account, can be deleted, without negotiation;
This online and autonomous course is open to anyone who wants to move towards a shared digital emancipation. The first module “Internet, why and how to take back control” compiles our knowledge on the internet, the toxic hegemony of GAFAM and ways out. - [Start the course online](https://mooc.chatons.org/)
Having more doubts than certainties, we see what we do as experiments. So we accept failure: to err is human, and so are we! We even find joy in failures, because they can teach us more than a success. But for us, knowledge is more important than efficiency.
Clause *“If it breaks, we are not obliged to repair”*: @:color.soft offers this service for free. If you lose data, through your fault or ours, sorry, but it happens. We’ll do what we can to get it back, but we assign no obligation of result. In other words, avoid trusting sensitive or important data on @:color.soft services, because if they are lost, we do not guarantee their recovery;
Clause *“If you are not happy, you are invited to go elsewhere”*: if the service does not suit you, you are free to find some an equivalent (or better) elsewhere, or to install your own;
We are working with peer.tube to create a PeerTube showcase with interesting and quality videos. See you in 2023 to see the progress of the project! - [Watch the first contents](https://peer.tube/)
We make sure to share recipes, products and lessons learned freely. We elevate our achievements in the Commons. We want everyone to be able to take it and adapt it to their own situation, but also to avoid being in a position of power because of a monopoly on one resource or another.
Clause *“Any abuse will be punished”*: if a user abuses the service, for example by monopolizing shared machine resources, or by publishing content considered to be irrelevant, their content or their account can be deleted without warning or negotiation. @:color.soft remains the sole judge of this notion of “abuse” in order to provide the best possible service to all its users. If it seems anti-democratic, anti-libristic, anti-free speech to you, please refer to the previous clause;
From the general documentation of the services we host to the specific documentation of the software we develop (PeerTube, Mobilizon, Yakforms)… Every year, Framasoft writes, maintains and updates many lines of text! - [See the documentation](https://docs.framasoft.org)
Clause *“Nothing is eternal”*: services can close (for example, because of a lack of funds to maintain them), they can be victims of intrusion (the “100% secure” does not exist). We encourage you to keep a copy of the data that is important to you, because @:color.soft can not be held responsible for hosting it forever.
The digital world sometimes excludes non-English speakers. That's why Framalang –a self-managed working group– translates English articles, websites and books into French. The translations are then published on the Framablog. - [Participate in Framalang](https://participer.framasoft.org/fr/framalang/index.html) - [Read Framalang articles](https://framablog.org/author/framalang-framasoft/)
