Find out more about the origins of ALASCA, our board of directors and why we need an association like ALASCA.
Talk is silver, development is gold: we are passionate doers. That's why at ALASCA we create real, operational technologies for cloud infrastructures. 100% open source. 100% ready-to-use.
We create the right framework for the active exchange of knowledge and experience between our members and beyond the boundaries of the association. In various event formats (e.g. hackathons, webinars or tech talks), we drive the identification, further development and publication of free cloud projects and their potential.
Concentrated power: Our members combine their different experiences and skills into collaborative project work. In this way, we are able to move forward open-source projects for cloud infrastructures together.
Our community is characterized not only by its competencies, but especially by enthusiasm, curiosity and passion for open-source. We live an open and respectful cooperation. We also strongly network with other communities in the European open-source landscape beyond the association's borders.
Since the end of 2020, Cloud&Heat Technologies and STACKIT have been developing the jointly initiated open source lifecycle tool Yaook. To date, the Yaook community has grown to around 50 members from different companies - and the trend is rising. In order to decouple the project from individual companies and to be able to develop and advance it more independently, the desire grew to put Yaook on its own feet. At the same time, the call from business and the public sector for open-source tools to achieve digital sovereignty and to make them known beyond the boundaries of the developer community grew louder and louder. The idea for ALASCA was born!
As the original project, Yaook ALASCA But we don't want to stop at this one project. Instead, we want to establish further projects - whether newly initiated or already existing - and create the right environment for their successful further development. At the end of 2023, we were able to transfer the two open source projects Krake and Yake successfully in ALASCA. And that's not all: We also want to promote dialogue between members and beyond - all for the sake of European digital sovereignty.
Since the beginning of 2023, we have established the ALASCA Tech-Talks as a popular monthly event format for technicians, in which we exchange information on current news and open source projects to strengthen digital sovereignty in Germany and Europe.
To ensure the successful establishment and further development of ALASCA, our governance model clearly and transparently defines the organisation structure as well as the various roles and their relationships. Find out more about how ALASCA is organised and who the faces behind ALASCA are here.
