Project contributions are how we develop and run all Kosmos software and services. Everything we create and provide is free and open-source software, even the page you're looking at right now!

Start contributing

Check out our projects page for some (but not all) potential places that can use your help.

There's something to do for everyone, especially non-programmers! For example, we need more help with graphics, UI/UX design, and content/copywriting. Also, testing any of our software and reporting issues you encounter along the way is very valuable.

A good way to get started is to join one of our chat rooms and introduce yourself. Alternatively, you can also ping us on any other medium, or even just grab an open issue on our Gitea or on GitHub and dive right in.

Last but not least, if you want to help by proposing new features or services, or by giving feedback on existing ones, head over to the community forums, where you can do just that.

Open Source Grants

Money coming in from financial contributions is first used to pay for our bills. Additional funds are being paid out directly to our contributors, including you, according to their rough share of contributions.

We have run two 6-month trials so far, with the next trial period starting sometime soon. Watch your email for notifications about it!
