Our Work

We envision a world in which people can access and own the technology they need to create just, abundant and sustainable societies.

To make that vision into a reality, we make strategic interventions in sectors that have the most to offer the global information commons.

Types of Activities

* Services: We provide information management support services that help individuals and organizations doing transformative work share it with others.

* Projects: We produce and manage projects that show people how free and open source solutions can solve real and local problems.

* Advocacy: We help build support for the adoption of free/libre/open-source tools and techniques within nonprofit and ethical business communities.
