We like to use [the notion of archipelago in reference to our relationships with others](https://framablog.org/2019/12/10/archipelisation-comment-framasoft-concoit-les-relations-quelle-tisse/) Each one is an island with its own identity and bathes in the same waters as its neighbours, and that speaks to us a lot: “Each⋅e its identity, its culture, its reason for being, its objectives, its means. But we all share the same values and strategies. We make the choice to cooperate, even occasionally.”
## Preamble We –the members of the Framasoft association– will do our best to follow this manifesto; we know we are too fallible to promise to follow it word for word! Please see this manifesto as a simple declaration of intent of what we want to be (and especially do!) in the world.
Framasoft claims to be part of the popular education movement: it is together that we develop our knowledge and share our points of view in order to improve society!
We want to raise awareness about the impact of digital technology on our lives, and show that alternatives to the web giants exist. It is possible to have a healthy and serene use of the Internet, while respecting our data and our personal lives!
