We do development, design, organizing, policy campaigning, and more to make computing more useful, secure, and resilient. Our work is centered around software infrastructure projects such as GNOME, postmarketOS, p2panda, systemd, and the Linux kernel.
We are working towards a secure free software operating system accessible to everyone, with a solid ecosystem of apps that support multi-device sync and collaboration.
