We are very happy to announce that the European Commission is funding the ELFA consortium to build a local-first, end-to-end encrypted workspace suite.

@elfa Hi there, nice post. Will the suite be open source?
@flq yes, as all projects funded by the Next Generation Internet initiative of the European Commission, and the NLnet foundation.
-
@elfa @artfulrobot How was your consortium chosen?
@humanhorseshoes @artfulrobot We gathered spontaneously, knowing each other from the FOSS communities. We found complementarity, as each partner is responsible for their own area of development and expertise.

@elfa @artfulrobot Yes but you must have tapped an EU fund for funding like Horizon or similar?

@humanhorseshoes I am not aware of any data collection on our site.
if you are referring to the subscription to the newsletter, there is a consent box, and you are redirected to the website of nextgraph.org that does contain a Privacy Policy.

If something is missing, please let us know@elfa No policy, no consent mechanism. Who knows where it goes.
There needs to be a privacy policy on your home page.
Your responses are not confidence inspiring and I will give this whole project a miss.
Thanks

@elfa thanks
Other topic about the stack:
What about AI capabilities in Elfa Suite? Your positioning on AI and agentic web? What about integration with AI agent rust framework, like Rig?
@elfa Thanks
I see that Nextgraph speaks about smart contracts, which is great. Are they in the scope of Elfa?
If yes, what will be their capabilites?
-
@elfa@fosstodon.org the phrase "I want to know whey you are launching" is not consent. You have no privacy policy on YOUR page and Nextgraph.org has a privacy policy that is four years old with massive gaps in it. I am not "overreacting" I am applying privacy law as written.
This will materially affect your Horizon funding. GDPR compliance is mandatory and if your consortium cannot show compliance then your funding is at risk because you are not compliant.

@elfa Thanks

@timcoucou No plan for smartcontracts in ELFA. We encourage you to ask the question to @nextgraph .

@elfa Now the "poor me defence".

Just hope you actually develop it on thing like @Codeberg (or your own @forgejo), and upload binary / docker on an EU server.
And not use Microslop Github and other US crap

If something is missing, please let us know@elfa @humanhorseshoes ELFA, your responses seem reasonable to me, but apparently it might be a good idea for you to include such a policy on your site if for no other reason than to give less ammunition to naysayers.
