| + | As an ODI we cannot promote non-open-source applications it’s part of our philosophy of Openness and Independence. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here are some fundamentals are guiding principles: | ||
| + | - We should always promote open source and free software where applicable and appropriate. Those that provide more control over personal data and security protections. | ||
| + | - Tools and applications which are respectful of data privacy and rights - this precludes many proprietary software applications - see terms and conditions. | ||
| + | - Tools and applications which do not lock users into services which they cannot afford over the longer term, or require them to loose this access upon account closures. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Sometimes we do use proprietary software and this mix is going to be around for various reasons. Where-ever possible we do try to ensure that these companies have a ‘social’ component that offers services for non-for-profits which offers the full suite without a cost. Tableau and DataWrapper do, as does Mapbox. | ||
| + | We have previously moved away from some applications because they do not off these services - such as Carto, ArcGIS and to an extent that we still use some is because of legacy. i.e. many had free terms and then changed these policies at a later date. | ||
