🎙️Tooeen - 👐 Open Source 🚀 Alternative to Autodesk Forge

Quoting Jesús Valderrama Rodríguez from ifc.js
Here are some ideas 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 we are working on:
✅ 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞: Of course it will be 100% open source, make no doubt about it. Since we started IFC.js our vision was to create a community-driven growth model that would allow us to obtain resources to make 100% open and free technology available to anyone. Now the project is moving towards being more than just JavaScript libraries, but that premise is not changing at all. Tooeen's technology will be 100% open and free.
✅ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧: We want to hear from you. The community will continue to grow and we will involve you in everything. With this call, we also want to listen to all the companies that we know have been waiting for something like this for a long time.
✅ 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥: We have been working for some time on creating a system so that you can display as many models as you want, regardless of their size, on any device. It is already a reality. We have the technology, and we are going to create something great.
✅ 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞: Not all businesses have the same needs. We want to produce a real change and Tooeen is born to satisfy those companies that prefer to delegate service and infrastructure under a SaaS model, those that prefer to keep control of their data under an on-premise model with delegated maintenance, and also those that want to implement and manage everything in their own infrastructure, which will have free access to the code.
✅ 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦: Web, Desktop, Mobile and XR. Plug and play is the key. We want to delight developers using our platform, so that integrating or innovating on it is a piece of cake.
✅ 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞: We will create an application marketplace on our platform that allows us to address more use cases and needs, faster thanks to the community, while also becoming a way of innovation and business for everyone.

What Is OSArch and Why It Matters With Duncan Lithgow
The OSArch community aims to provide support for a community and ecosystem of software that respects the digital freedom of the industry and its users. This digital freedom allows collaboration to occur, and is increasingly important as the industry and next generation of digitally savvy professionals leave academia to join us in our journey to improve the built environment. In particular, we help support four types of digital freedom, which are known as the four essential freedoms. When the OSArch community talks about free software, we are not referring to price (which is a common misconception), we are talking about software that provides these four freedoms, of which price is not a factor. The freedoms are:
1️The freedom to use software as you wish for any purposes, whether it be educational, commercial, R&D, in any context with no time limit, no arbitrary vendor restrictions, or any other rules governing your usage.
2️The freedom to study how the software works, and change it so it can do what you want. We want to promote digital learning and the freedom to customise software for your workflows, your data, your environment, with no restrictions.
3️The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others. We need our tools to be shared to work together on the built environment. Sharing tools with others helps upskill and improve the abilities of the entire industry.
4️The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others. By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes.
A precondition to provide these four freedoms is to ensure that we are able to do all the work we need to do in the AEC industry using open source software. Satisfying this precondition means the license of the software must be an FSF-approved license or an OSI-approved license. Access to, and the freedom to change this code empowers and puts the users (that's you!) in control over the data in the built environment, instead of vendors.
Duncan Lithgow is a Constructing Architect and ICT Specialist at Henning Larsen Architects in Skanderborg, Denmark. At the same time, Duncan is one of the most active contributors in the OSArch community.
