CivicSyn public-benefit source posture

Source and OSS provenance

CivicSyn is public/cooperative coordination infrastructure for essential goods and services. Local nodes coordinate demand, capacity, inventory, delivery, funding, and governance. The system recommends; people decide; every decision leaves evidence.

Food security first

The first domain connects kitchens, food banks, delivery partners, agencies, co-ops, and public reviewers around transparent allocation decisions.

  • Current picture: needs, capacity, inventory, delivery windows
  • Evidence trail: source, freshness, confidence, audit record
  • Public view: aggregate dashboards, maps, exports, outcomes
  • Human review: objections, approvals, overrides, follow-through
Public-safeResidents see aggregate information, not private case details.
Human-governedRecommendations require accountable review before action.

Public-benefit source posture

CivicSyn is built with civic commons obligations in mind.

Plain-language source summary: this page explains what CivicSyn reuses, what obligations come with those references, and where public notices live without exposing private operational details.

CivicSyn accepts reciprocal/source-availability obligations for approved AGPL, GPL, EPL, and civic/cooperative OSS references. Reference assets are copied through a provenance tool, notices are preserved, and CivicSyn-native implementations are built on Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2, Queues, and Durable Objects.

Reference bundle

Copied reference assets live under workers/products/app-099-civicsyn/reference with checksums and source commits recorded in COPY_PROVENANCE.json.

Approved families

CKAN, Decidim, CONSUL, FIWARE, OpenFisca, OpenLMIS, OpenFoodNetwork, PostGIS, CoopCycle, Metabase, and OpenBoxes are approved for obligation-aware CivicSyn use.

Boundary

This is not a surveillance or black-box optimization system. Public users get source/provenance transparency; private operational evidence remains protected.
