host organization for Kosmos hosted services.</p><p>It acts as an infrastructure provider to the developers and users of Kosmos
software. It is appointed this role by the Kosmos co-operative, and is run by
members of the co-operative itself.</p><p>The foundation also accepts financial contributions on behalf of the
co-operative, both for the development and maintenance of Kosmos (and related)
software, as well as for providing hosted services to people and organizations.
As per the KIF’s founding statutes, which are legally binding, any and all of
its funds must only be used for these purposes.</p><h2id=our-mission>Our Mission</h2><p>We believe that neither the development nor usage of <ahref=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software>free and open-source
software</a> should
be entirely dependent upon select corporations or VC-funded startup companies.
Thus, we think that free software needs neutral and/or sovereign communication
and collaboration platforms that are only beholden to free software’s most
important stakeholders: its creators and users.</p><p>In this context, our mission is as follows:</p><ulclass="list-disc ml-4"><liclass=mb-2>Provide community-controlled infrastructure for the collaborative
development of all Kosmos applications, as well as related and unrelated
free software</li><liclass=mb-2>Provide a professional, reliable hosting environment for research,
development, testing, and demonstration of all Kosmos applications</li><li>Provide, on a not-for-profit basis, easy-to-use services surrounding Kosmos
applications to end users, both individual and organizations</li></ul><h2id=board-of-directors>Board of Directors</h2><ulclass="grid grid-cols-2 sm:grid-cols-3 md:grid-cols-5 gap-6 mb-8"><li>Sebastian Kippe<br><spanclass="text-discreet text-sm">Chairman</span></li><li>Garret Alfert<br><spanclass="text-discreet text-sm">Secretary</span></li><li>Michael Bumann<br><spanclass="text-discreet text-sm">Treasurer</span></li><li>Greg Karékinian<br><spanclass="text-discreet text-sm">Director</span></li><li>Nick Jennings<br><spanclass="text-discreet text-sm">Director</span></li></ul><h2id=contact>Contact</h2><divclass="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-6 mb-8"><div><h3id=snail-mail>Snail Mail</h3><p>Stichting Kosmos Infrastructure Foundation<br>Herengracht 449A<br>1017 BR Amsterdam<br>Netherlands</p></div><div><h3id=e-mail>E-Mail</h3><p><ahref=mailto:foundation@kosmos.org>foundation@kosmos.org</a></p></div></div></div></main><footer></footer></body></html>
