+# A decision tree to help your organisation adopt open source software without the hassle of managing a server | 12th March 2025
+
+This is a follow up post from: 
+
+> [Does using open source software means that I have to maintain servers myself?](https://agency.yctct.com/blog/using-open-source.html)
+
+In that previous post we saw that you don't necessarily need to host freely distributed and open source software yourself for your organisation to use freely distributed software.
+
+But, if freely distributed software need to be install or run somewhere then,
+
+- Where shall software run then? 
+- or, which server shall you use?
+
+This is a decision tree to help you figure how you can use freely distributed software.
+
+Before you use software on third-party server, you should see if you can run it locally.
+So the first question of this decision tree is:
+
+## 1. Can I use this software locally? 
+
+List of software of you can use locally:
+
+- LibreOffice
+- Pluma
+- Abrowser
+- git
+- *etc*
+
+Yes -> great, go on and install that software on your computer.
+
+No -> next question.
+
+## 2. Would a peer-to-peer software do the job?
+
+List of peer-to-peer software:
+
+- Tox
+- Syncthing
+- *etc*
+
+Yes -> great, go on and install that software on your computer.
+
+No -> next question.
+
+## 3. Is an organisation running an instance I can use?
+
+List of organisations running instances of freely distributed
+software, for example:
+
+- Ghost: blog, (paid) newsletter
+- Disroot: jitsi, Matrix, NextCloud etc
+- Ouvaton: Sympa, Website, etc
+- Autistici: website/blog
+- *etc*
+
+Yes -> great, go on sign up/create an account on that instance.
+
+No ->  next question.
+
+## 4. Can I find an organisation that would run that instance for me?
+
+List of organisations that can run a standalone instances of
+freely distributed software for you:
+
+- Hostsharing e.G. or Pâquerette, for example
