The Kosmos Infrastructure Foundation (KIF) is the host organization for Kosmos
hosted services. 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.
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 individuals 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.
Our Mission
We believe that neither the development nor usage of free and open-source
-software should
-be entirely dependent upon select corporations or VC-funded startup companies.

Our Mission
We believe that neither the development nor usage of free software should be

Thus, we think that free software benefits from community-owned, sovereign and
open communication and collaboration platforms that are only beholden to free
software’s most important stakeholders: its creators and users.
In this context, our mission is as follows:
- Provide community-controlled infrastructure for the collaborative
development of all Kosmos applications, as well as related and unrelated
free software
- Provide a professional, reliable hosting environment for research,
-development, testing, and demonstration of all Kosmos applications
- Provide, on a not-for-profit basis, easy-to-use services surrounding Kosmos
