Why promote and support open source?

Supporting open-source projects is all about fostering the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and shared knowledge. When the source code is available to everyone to see, use, and improve, it creates a community where ideas flow freely, and technology evolves rapidly.

At our core, we’re dedicated to not just delivering high-quality software but also to supporting the open-source movement. By promoting open source, we’re helping to ensure a future where technology is more open, inclusive, and full of possibilities for everyone.

Here’s why we’re passionate about supporting open source:

Encouraging Collaboration and Inclusivity

Open source is all about people coming together to create something bigger and by allowing everyone to contribute, it fosters a more creative atmosphere where ideas are brewed that lead to better solutions.

Enhances Transparency and Trust

With open-source projects, anyone can review the code, understand how it works, and even suggest improvements. This transparency builds trust among the developers and the users to ensure the software is secure, reliable, and free from any hidden agendas.

Speeding Up Innovation

Amazing things can happen when talented minds from across the world collaborate. This helps to accelerate tech advancements by utilizing the collective power of the community. This leads to faster discoveries and improvements that benefit everyone.

What we do to promote and support open-source projects.

We’re passionate about promoting our open-source projects in ways that truly reflect our values. By bringing people together and creating a community around our work, we’re not just building software, we’re making a real difference.

Community Support

We actively foster collaboration with online open-source initiatives and offline non-profit projects to support both the developer community and our local neighbors. Through partnerships and contributions, including community support initiatives, our local Minnesota partners work to expand educational opportunities in STEM, create impactful code, and strengthen our community through programs addressing essential needs like food and housing.

Student Scholarships

We proudly support female undergraduate students pursuing careers in computing through financial scholarships. By investing in their education, we aim to build a more inclusive and vibrant future for the tech industry. Since 2017, our Women in Computing Scholarships have provided not only financial assistance but also mentorship and networking opportunities, empowering young women to excel in technology and leadership roles.

Donating Resources

Beyond funding, we provide essential resources to open-source and non-profit organizations, including server hardware and software solutions such as website testing tools and web performance optimization services. These contributions help ensure projects are accessible, reliable, and scalable. By sharing our expertise, resources, and technology, we empower initiatives to reach their full potential, drive innovation, and further their missions in impactful ways.
