Building Open Communities
Open communities refers to the opportunity for anyone to join and contribute to the collaborative effort. The direction and goals are determined collaboratively by all members of the community.
Hosts You Can Trust
Trust is the principle foundation that binds all lasting relationships. It starts as a mutual trust between individuals, groups & communities and must flow in all directions.
It seems the bigger things become the least they can be trusted. Take Big Tech for example, all those “free” services they offer you cost billions to operate are littered with AI bots, monitoring, surveillance, recording and analyzing your every move.
In the digital age your information is more valuable than oil and gold, especially for Behavioral Psychologists that wish to socially engineer the face of society.
SAY NO!! to bots, AI, monitoring, snooping, back doors and backhanders.
That’s a big tech thing, not us…

About Us
Philosophy
Locale takes an open minded, open sourced, open orientated, open community approach that open societies require. It’s a collection of ideas, tools and technologies dedicated to different tasks, brought together under one roof and offered as a service to be used by the collective, for the collective. As an open community provider and host, all future developments of Locale will be decided by its members.
To prove and convey our trust and dedication in connecting and building open communities we open all our services for free. As Locale is open community driven eventually the community will ensure the funding and infrastructure is cover to endure it stays operational, developed and expanded as the community grows. How that is done is for the community to decide further down the tracks. For now, rather than all you can get free for all services, we’ll need to limited them and offer paid upgrades to help keep Locale running.
