Think of it has a public commons for the digital age; one that will be free to use and without advertising – forever. GCcollab is becoming that workspace.<br /><br />
GCcollab hosts new services that will be integrated in the foundation of an open and accessible digital workspace.<br />
The new workspace will be an ecosystem based on a streamlined framework:<br /><br />
• a single sign-in and credential;<br />
• a single user profile<br />
• a set of open communication standards; and most importantly for you;<br />
• a suite of services that each have a specific purpose to meet your needs.<br /><br />
These services currently include [https://account.gccollab.ca/ Account] (for you to sign in to GCcollab and access all new GCcollab services), [[https://wiki.gccollab.ca/|Wiki]] (a public wiki), and [https://message.gccollab.ca/ Message] (an instant-messaging and team chat service). More services to come include Kanban (a project management system), Vis (a data visualization tool), and many more.<br />
Each service has been, and will continue to be created using [https://github.com/gctools-outilsgc/gccollab/ open source software].<br /><br />
While the Government of Canada is GCcollab’s main steward, partners across Canada and the globe are contributing to the project; including the Government of the Netherlands, the Department of National Defence within the Government of Canada, the Centre for Social Innovation, and so many more. With the minds of many, GCcollab will become an ecosystem of tools where partners can meet and collaborate together in real-time.
