Hi @jdaviescoates,
I am quite ashamed to share this with you as it is still very early stage, and very poorly packaged and documented but, with no further ado :
[https://git.happy-dev.fr/happy-dev/ldp-display](https://git.happy-dev.fr/happy-dev/ldp-display)
The idea is to provide open-source web components based on the [Linked Data standards](https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_berners_lee_on_the_next_web) released by the W3C to easily build interoparable platforms.
I’d be very happy to discuss this further as we perceive this as a key element not to re-centralize the way the Happy Dev network is organized while scaling to several thousand workers.

Components for digital co-operative infrastructure. Excellent.

You really shouldn’t be! In part because I don’t have the technical knowlegde to be able to tell the quality of what you’ve done! But also because I fully support your efforts either way 🙂

@alexbourlier it looks to me that your `ldp-display` post would make sense to be taken out of this thread and posted as a separate topic, would you like me to do that?
Great to see you using your own GitLab CE instance, a couple of the CoTech co-ops in the UK have their own GitLab CE instances and we have one here:

Hi @chris,
Yes if you believe this is appropriate, then I think it is a great idea 🙂

Are you already plugged into the Open App Ecosystem conversations? See this Loomio group [Open App Ecosystem](https://www.loomio.org/g/exAKrBUp/open-app-ecosystem)

For good measure I’m going to post your links above in that group now 🙂

Hi Josef,
We are in contact with Enspiral but I was not aware yet of this Open App Ecosystem initative.
I’ll dig into it, thank you for showing it to me.

Sadly it doesn’t really seem to be getting much/ any love/ leadership from within the Enspiral network these days, but still lots of good discussion and useful information shared there from time to time - I love to see more CoTech people active and engaged in such efforts.
I thought this early document was great at outlining the vision and goals (and I share it here as it sadly isn’t linked to from the Loomio and github pages):

Thank you so much for sharing this document.
The first page which details the vision is a total match as far as I am concerned.
We are fully in line with this vision of what the software we build should allow.
You made my day, there seems to be a global movement behind this
