```Kosmos``` is an open co-operative of people, who are developing a free, open-source, and user-centric alternative to centralized group chat platforms, based on widely used protocols and standards.
We also offer a variety of other hosted services, mostly focused on users and contributors of free and open-source software.

Kosmos Chat
Kosmos Chat (ex Codename 67P) is a team communication application based exclusively on open protocols, standards, APIs, and data formats. All of its components are free software, published under open-source licenses. User-facing programs are built upon the Web Platform, communicating with server components via HTTP and WebSockets.
Services
We run a variety of public services, for which we will soon accept donations for user accounts.
