Our Community

We are comprising global community of nearly 300 open source maintainers and contributors, tech ethicists, social justice advocates, legal experts, academics, sociologists, human rights workers, and others who work together on ways to center justice and equity in the software commons.

Our community strives to be safe, welcoming, and equitable. Guidelines for participation in our online spaces, and details of how we enforce these guidelines, are enumerated in our Code of Conduct.

We believe that open, transparent, consensus-based, and representative governance is essential to the health and sustainability of our community and our work. Our governance framework is described in our governance documents.

The Organization for Ethical Source is legally incorporated in the United States as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
