It helps for the developpement of a territory through a local approach (district, town, city, ...). Ths internet platform provides tools and functions adapted to interchanges, project construction; they facilitate debates and the expression of the needs in one hand, and service proposals in the other.
Inhabitants, organizations, companies, public bodies in one territory : Communecter has been developped to connect them to each other.

Who are we ?

Who are those hyper-active contributors ?

Those people are strongly involved in the project. Some are employees of Open Atlas, some are volunteers and sometimes they have been working for years to push the project forward :  Tibor, Tom, Jahne, Sitti, Clément, Raphaël, Jérôme et Édith.

Those historical contributors of COmmunecter are sincerly delighted to greet the newcomers. Rather than constituting a narrow circle in which people have to prove theirselves to fit in, they are part of an open and friendly community :)

Open Atlas is regularly looking for trainees or recruiting for civic service. If you'd like to know more about the roles of the members, please click on this link.

Ambassadors

A nice community of ambassadors also exists to develop the use of COmmunecter within a territory or in the community they are part of.

Donors

They provide funds to sustain the platform and help us to improve it ! Click on the role "Donateur" in the Pixel Humain community to find them.

Active pixels

They frequently contribute to the project in different ways. For example, Stephan helps us to translate the website and Jean-Batiste sometimes suggests what improvements could be set.

Ambassadors are also part of this group.

Our friends
