[Framasoft](https://framasoft.org/) (that's us!) is a small French non-profit (10 employees + 25 volunteers), that has been promoting Free-Libre software and its culture to a French-speaking audience for 20+ years.
### What does Framasoft do?
)We strongly believe that Free-Libre software is one of the essential tools for achieving a Free-Libre society. That is why we maintain and contribute to lots of projects that aim to empower people to get more freedom in their digital lives.
Among those tools are:
* **20 FOSS based web-services that we host** (mainly for our French-speaking audience) on our [Degooglify Internet website](https://degooglisons-internet.org/en), including [Framadate](https://framadate.org/) and [Framaforms](https://framaforms.org)… ;
* many **talks**, workshops, and participations to conventions ;
* A [**blog**](https://framablog.org/), where we share our views and where a group of volunteers translate into French news from the English-speaking FLOSS world ;
* Many, many **ressources** to help people and organizations in their transition to ethical digital tools (guides, documentation, even card games!) ;
Framasoft is **funded by donations** (94% of our 2024 budget), mainly grassroots donations (75% of the 2024 budget). As we mainly communicate in French, the overwhelming majority of our donations comes from the French-speaking audience. You can help us through [joinpeertube.org/contribute](https://joinpeertube.org/contribute).
### We develop PeerTube
)In the English-speaking community, we are mostly known for developing [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org/), a **self-hosted video and live-streaming free/libre platform**, which has become **the main alternative to Big Tech's video platforms**.
From a student project to a software with international reach, our video platform solution is now, seven years later, used and acknowledged by many institutions!
The last major version of PeerTube, v7, [has been released](https://joinpeertube.org/news/release-7.0) at the end of 2024, along with the first version of the official mobile app, available on both Android ([Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.framasoft.peertube), [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.framasoft.peertube/)) and [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/en/app/peertube/id6737834858).
Now that the PeerTube platform has matured significantly over successive versions, we believe that the way to enable even more people to use PeerTube is to improve the mobile app so that it can be carried around in people's pockets.
### Ask Us Anything!
Last month, we have [published the roadmap for the project](https://joinpeertube.org/news/roadmap-2025). This week, we also [launched our new crowdfunding campaign](https://support.joinpeertube.org/) which focuses on our mobile app.
We want to give you the opportunity through this AMA to give us feedback on the product and the project and discuss the crowdfunding campaign and our next steps!
