South Tyrol Cloud for Citizens
summary
A nonprofit South Tyrol citizen cloud builds on Nextcloud with identity via SPID and eIDAS, demanding EU data centers, a 100% free software stack, GDPR compliance, federation, auditability and easy portability. The claim is a locally run, replicable instance for file sharing, docs, contacts, chat and video; business model mixes paid professional providers, memberships and civic engagement. Early demand targets roughly 10% of citizens; cost estimates hit €3 per user per year. Initial instances are planned; no wide deployment yet.
