|
|
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><h2 id=our-mission>Our Mission</h2><p>We believe that neither the development nor usage of <a href=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><ul class="list-disc ml-4"><li class=mb-2>Provide community-controlled infrastructure for the collaborative
|
|
development of all Kosmos applications, as well as related and unrelated
|
|
free software</li><li class=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><h2 id=board-of-directors>Board of Directors</h2><ul class="grid grid-cols-2 sm:grid-cols-3 md:grid-cols-5 gap-6 mb-8"><li>Sebastian Kippe<br><span class="text-discreet text-sm">Chairman</span></li><li>Garret Alfert<br><span class="text-discreet text-sm">Secretary</span></li><li>Michael Bumann<br><span class="text-discreet text-sm">Treasurer</span></li><li>Greg Karékinian<br><span class="text-discreet text-sm">Director</span></li><li>Nick Jennings<br><span class="text-discreet text-sm">Director</span></li></ul><h2 id=contact>Contact</h2><div class="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-6 mb-8"><div><h3 id=snail-mail>Snail Mail</h3><p>Stichting Kosmos Infrastructure Foundation<br>Herengracht 449A<br>1017 BR Amsterdam<br>Netherlands</p></div><div><h3 id=e-mail>E-Mail</h3><p><a href=mailto:foundation@kosmos.org>foundation@kosmos.org</a></p></div></div></div></main><footer></footer></body></html> |
