For some members, digital resilience meant transitioning away from closed-source commercial tools to self-hosted, secure, and open-source alternatives. For others, this transition from closed to open-source tools represented a political statement against the centralization of internet services […] ## Pages - [Our Projects](https://digitalresilience.network/our-projects/): Our Projects: Since the launch of this Network in October 2023, we have been engaged in a reiterative process where we share experiences, identify common needs, and map our capacities to plan practical collaborations to advance the digital resilience of our organizations and our local and regional partners in the global majority.
