_Introduction_
|
|
|
|
|
The Kosmos Infrastructure Foundation (KIF) is the legal, physical, and financial
|
|
|
|
|
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 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.

## Our Mission
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
We believe that neither the development nor usage of [free and open-source
|
|
|
|
|
software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software) 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this context, our mission is as follows:
