Overview

This page supports an initiative dedicated to keeping technology open, safe, and human-centered. The effort aims to balance innovation with responsibility, making sure open standards, privacy by design, and accessible tooling stay within reach for communities worldwide. By focusing on collaboration, safety research, and inclusive design, the work seeks durable solutions that benefit users and contributors alike.

Funds are directed toward practical outcomes—maintainable open-source platforms, rigorous security practices, and educational resources that empower people at all skill levels.

A diverse team and an expanding network of volunteers guide the effort, ensuring broad perspectives shape the road ahead.
