Aroyi est une plateforme sur laquelle des projets très divers peuvent être proposés. Des initiatives créatives et innovantes à vocation sociale, culturelle, scientifique, éducative, technologique ou écologique; qui aident à construire une communauté dans son environnement et contribuent au développement des biens communs, du code ouvert et/ou de la connaissance libre, et bénéficient ainsi au plus grand nombre.
Nous nous concentrons sur tout projet à "l'ADN ouvert": culture libre, action sociale, software et hardware libres, économie alternative, architecture, gastronomie, recherche, permaculture, apprentissage: qui contribuent à enrichir les biens communs à partir de retombées collectives, grâce à l'utilisation de licences libres et/ou ouvertes (par ex. Creative Commons ou GPL).
Ce sont des initiatives qui partagent des informations, connaissances, processus, résultats, responsabilités, bénéfices, contenus numériques et autres ressources en lien avec l'activité pour laquelle ils cherchent des appuis et cofinancements.

This is a really important nuance! Although there can be projects that have a high social interest (social good), orientated towards creating positive change in concrete places or communities, Aroyi isn't oriented at solidarity or social initiatives if they don't clearly establish a collective return.
This means that they ensure that the project is transferable and reusable by other people and collectives (common good) according to the rights which govern free knowledge and which are usually regulated through free and open licences.

Aroyi n'est pas développé pour aider au financement de projets ayant pour seule finalité de faire des bénéfices, ni pour accueillir des actions de vente de produits ou services, ni des jeux de hasards, des campagnes politiques ou de collecte de fonds pour des initiatives de bienfaisance.
Tout comme la plupart des plateformes de crowdfunding, ce n'est pas non plus un outil pour financer ou impulser des projets liés proposant des contenus inappropriés, délictueux ou qui portent atteinte à la dignité des personnes.

To make sure that the proposed ideas contribute to strengthening the commons, open code and/or free knowledge, the projects which want to be financed and developed with the help of Aroyi need to be focussed, produced or distributed under one of the numerous existing free and/or open licences. These licences favour the "digital footprint" of the projects with different specifications or restrictions - permitting the explicit copying, public communication, distribution, modification and/or commercial use of all or part of every creation.
Free and/or open licences not only permit the preservation of the authorship and control over uses derived from the creations, but is a real mechanism of replication and distribution through followers, prosumers and disseminators. It is an ever more rich and diverse source of common content where many people look to find all types of inspiration, talent and resources (educational, artistic, documentaries etc).
For all these these reasons, and always taking into account that Aroyi guarantees precisely renumeration for the ideation and creation of projects (which at the same time can have their own parallel mechanisms for economic sustainability), we share the increasingly widespread opinion that free and/or open licences do not harm, but can only benefit projects and the people behind them and society in general.
Aroyi suggests, and offers advice about, a series of licences such as Creative Commons (CC), General Public Licence (GPL), GNU Affero General Public Licence (AGPLv3), Open Database (ODBC), Licencia Red Abierta Libre Neutral (XOLN) and Open Hardware Licence (OHL). You can see the details of these and other licences at

Free Software Foundation or

The world of free knowledge is full of possibilities, but they're not always easy to find and deploy is one isn't used to working within the parameters of openness. Bearing this in mind, Aroyi has an assistant who guides the full process of signing up of a project, which explains the importance of the decisions the project leader needs to take at each step, and what kind of information s/he needs to provide.
If this is not enough for you,
let's talk. The mission of the Aroyi Foundation is the diffusing, promotion and applied research around the commons, open source and free knowledge, in different social, cultural and economical realms. This is why we offer specialised guidance and advice to project leaders on how to configure or adapt their projects: kinds of licences, collective rewards, new products and derived services, etc. This guidance is produced by the Foundation and a community of experts and enthusiasts in specific subject areas.

Avant tout, vous devez prendre conscience que le crowdfunding en général est aussi un acte de diffusion publique d'idées ou de projets en herbe qui, de cette manière, avancent grâce au soutien de micros apports via Internet.
Par ailleurs, Aroyi s'inscrit dans une approche de biens communs, de code ouvert et de connaissance libre, dans l'esprit que le partage le plus ouvert de ce qui est créé n'est pas incompatible avec le fait de pouvoir en vivre. Nous souhaitons favoriser la création de retombées collectives qui, au-delà du simple plagiat, supposent la réutilisation de choses utiles, l'inspiration, l'apprentissage et le progrès partagé pour l'ensemble de la société.
Par ailleurs, si vous ne pouvez pas raconter ce que vous souhaitez faire et/ou ne souhaitez pas le partager au service de retombées collectives, à travers de licences libres ou ouvertes, alors peut-être que le financement via Aroyi n'est pas la meilleure option.

Of course, projects can operate or be effective in Spain or anywhere else in the world.
Nevertheless, since the intention of Aroyi is to grow reinforcing the local with geographical proximity, it is possible that the final decision on publishing or not a project on the platform might depend on prioritising closer projects.
You must take into account that, if you promote a project abroad and you don't have a bank account in Spain, service charges for international transactions will be greater, and currency exchange rates will affect your income.

En campagne non, mais vous pouvez avoir plusieurs projets en cours d'édition ou d'évaluation. De façon générale, il est préférable de se centrer sur un projet uniquement. N'oubliez pas qu'en plus sur Aroyi chaque projet dispose de deux sessions de cofinancement de 40 jours, et qu'il faut y consacrer du temps et de l'énergie pour les diffuser et les faire avancer. De plus, sur cette première version de la plateforme, nous valorisons avant tout la diversité, tant des idées que des personnes et équipes porteuses de projets. Dès lors, pour le moment, nous n'acceptons qu'un projet en campagne par porteur.

We believe it can, and, at least on our behalf, there is no problem with that :). In fact, we have already had cases, and this is precisely what allows the modularity of some projects (which can have derivative and complementary products or processes, with an educational, research, marketing, cross-media or format potential, etc.)
For this reason, it is recommended to research other platforms and see what kind of projects they support. But you must take into account a calendar and break-down of the project (in phases, or in by-products) so that the two campaigns don't overlap on two different platforms, since that can create confusion and suspicion in potential co-financiers.
