Who is SwissOUC?
SwissOUC is an independent association as defined by the Art. 60 et seq. of the Swiss Civil Code. From a legal point of view it has been founded on September 29, 2020.
The list of board members is available on the About Us page.
What is the main goal of SwissOUC?
The main goal of SwissOUC is to spread knowledge that exists in our community to everyone that might be interested. This is why there is no membership fee. SwissOUC is also a platform to gather all the smaller and free local initiatives, unite them and help promoting them. Traditional approaches like paid memberships, B2B-focused events and content that is limited to members are less and less successful and suitable. That’s why SwissOUC has an open and inclusive community model. SwissOUC is the community for the community.
What does SwissOUC do practically?
We have a shared blog platform.
Because of the current sanitary condition, it is too early to organize in-person events, but we are supporting and sharing various online activities. As soon as we can safely meet in-person again, we are looking forward to do physical events.
More ideas are being developed, stay tuned!
Why is everything in English?
Switzerland is a multilingual country with four official languages. Choosing one over the others would cause a rift in the community and make content not usable internationally. English is the international lingua franca and language of the technology communities which is why we decided to keep the community communication in English. This also allows us to build relationships with speakers, participants and user communities in and outside of Switzerland without a language barrier.
